“After the famine in 1846 and 1847 there were 52 families evicted in Cille Cunnigan Mór in the parish of Shinrone by Charles Trench.”
(continued from previous page)Shinrone by Charles French. He wanted to make it into a Bullock Park to fatten cattle to send to England.
Their houses were knocked down and their little farms were made into one large farm and given to a Scotch man by the name of Mr Crosdale. Some of those that were evicted got farms and the rest of them had to emigrate to foreign countries or look for employment at home. Sixteen Marys[?] went out on the road and cursed the Frenchs.
