  1. Nail-Making

    Share Share Post
    Mara was the name of people that made nails in the olden days.
    Hw was a grandfather to the Maras [Tom Mara Church St Clara] that are living in Clara now.
    A man named Peter Flattery used to go to them to buy nails because his father was a shoemaker and he would have to work with nails.
