  1. My Home District
    I live in the townland of Walterstown, and in the parish of Cobh. The barony is known as Barrymore so called because a man by the name of Lord Barrymore owned all the land there.
    There are about eighteen families in Walterstown, about eighty people there. The Walshes are the most common family in Walterstown. There are six or seven of them there. There are four people over seventy years of age, mainly Mrs Ahern, Mr Verling, and Mr and Mrs Fennesey. Mr and Mrs Fennesey can speak Irish.
