- Hallow E'en Customs
This is an old Hallow E'en custom, A person would get two nuts and put them by the fire until they are roasted then they take them out and put them on the hob they put a man's name on one nut and a women's name on the other. They then put the nuts a small distance from one another and if the nuts jumped in the fire together the man and woman named would get married but if the nuts jump in opposite directions they will not be married. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
