   (a.) My aunts (Houghs) were spinners and weavers of flax. Flax was grown by the farmers for the making of linen clothes - shirts for the men, and "shifts" for the women also tablecloths and household linens. All the work from the scutching of the flax to the finished article was done in the home. Sometimes travelling women came to do the "carding" of the flax.

Mrs Parkinson, (adhuc florens) Slevoyre, Borrisokane. Aged 91. Living in her father's home. Heard traditions from her father about seventy or eighty years ago. He would be about sixty years then, and native of district.
