- Travelling Folk.Some of the names of these "travellers" are, Connors, Cash, Cassidy, Murphy, Dorans, Kellys. Some of these who travel alone are Jerry, Cash, Simple Jerry Connors and "The Flying Tramp". Some of these are well of, like the Connor's, who have a caravan, fowl, asses, horses and even a wireless.
They make their living by selling tea-drawers, holy-pictures, statues, beads, prayer-books, ties, hairpins, and other little trinkets. Some stay at Furlongs in Knocktown, Mahoneys in Rathangan and Furlongs in Rathangan.
Some of them have a language of their own. Jerry Connors has a tricycle, Dorans have a house near Enniscorthy, while more of them work at the farms nearby.Dick Roche,
