    “The night of the bid wind was on the sixth of January 1839...”

    Share Share Post
    The night of the big wind was on the sixth of January 1839. There were a couple of ricks of hay belonging to Martin Marrinan of Monreel scattered all over the county. There was a horse belonging to Michael Ginnane of Tullagarvin put into a canal and she was got dead there the next day.
    There was a house belonging to the Neylons of Knocnagrage knocked with the wind but there was a room left in which they lived until they built another house to live in. There was great damage done on the night of the big wind.
