I got these stories from my father. (49 years)
Thatching
There was a man named Jim O Shea who used live in number 27 Walkin Street, Kilkenny. He is dead forty years. He was a very good thatcher and the people used to ask him to thatch their houses. One day he was thatching an old house in which nobody lived. While he was thatching the roof collapsed and he got smothered. - A Cooper
There was a man named Bill Delaney who lived in Walkin Street, Kilkenny. He was a cooper and he used to work for Patrick Walsh. Bill used to make barrels for him up in a loft. During his spare time he used to make firkins for the country people. One day while he was making a firkin he fell from the loft and died.- Collector
