Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in Australia

Bridget Mary Delia TYNAN was born in Higginstown, county of Kilkenny on either 1 Novembr, 1854 or 1855.  At a later date, I will check all my files

to confirm the exact date and attach some of them to this record. Her parents were William and Bridget (nee Corrigan/Carrigan) of Higginstown,

Co Clara, Kilkenny.  She had many siblings -  some of whom migrated to Australia.  But Bridget Mary (known mostly as Mary during her life in

Australia) seemed to come to Australia on her own as  a teenager.  She married in 1880 in Townsville, Queensland, Australia to Sidney George

Pegus and had a very large number of children here.  She died in Brisbane, Queensland in 1948.

    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>
