I live in Blanchfields Park.
There are nine families in it
namely Kealys, Shortalls, Cullens,
Byrnes. Langtons, Byrnes,
Kennys, Kehoes. There are
some (thath) thatched & slated
Mrs Kehoe and Mrs Langton are
over seventy . No woods in
it. The river that flows through
it is called "Park River". The
reason it is called "Blanchfields
Park" is because a family
named "Blanchfields" lived in
in & they owned a park there.
