- (continued from previous page)of Kilmeena and Barony of Burrishoole. There are ten families in my district. There are forty nine people in my district. The family most common are Gills. There are six thatched houses and four slated houses in my district. Nobody in my district knows how it got its name. There are four old people in my district. They don’t know any Irish. Their names are: Mr. Pat Gill, Mrs. Flynn, Mrs. Gill, and Mrs. Cox. There were more houses in my district in former years, than there are now. The people who were living in the houses emigrated to America. The land is not hilly and there are no bogs in my district. There is no wood in it either. There is a river running along Mayour and it is called the Buckfield River. Some people catch trout in the river.
