Anne Campion is my Grandmother, born in 1873 or so (I have no records of her birth). She married Michael Gibson in 1893 and she had 8 sons. They lived in Cloneygowan. Anne's family came originally from Kilkenny. Her father's name is Kieran (her marriage certificate records). She died in Tullamore Hospital in 1940.
County Kilkenny, or Cill Chainnigh in Irish, is located in the south-east region of Ireland. It is known as the Marble City because of its distinctive black marble. We have a population of approximately 95,419. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.

Travelling Folk in the 1930s
<p>Between 1937 and 1939, primary school pupils across the Republic of Ireland interviewed the elderly in their neighborhood to collect and record local stories and folklore from the 19th century. "The Schools Collection" as it became known is held by the Dúchas Folklore Collection in UCD and is and has been digitized online at duchas.ie. One of the topics schoolchildren were asked to write about were "Travelling Folk" or An Lucht Siúil. </p> <p>Here is a selection of what "settled" children wrote about travelers in the late 1930s.</p>
