8-12-21 Today I believe I have correctly identified Catherine's parents as Owen Dooley and Mary Graham. in July 2021 I obtained Catherine Dooley Tyrrell Brizze's death certificate from the registrar's office in Kingston, NY. On it was information I did not have last year. According to her death certificate she was born in County Cork on December 25, 1872 and her parents were Peter Dooley and Catherine Graham. In 2020 my best guess from what information I had managed to cobble together was that Catherine may have been born to Mary Rielly and James Dooley and baptized in March 1870 in Wexford. I knew she had emmigrated to the United States around 1892 and married William Tyrrell in New York City in February of 1897. There she gave birth to my grandmother Mary Francis Tyrrell in 1901. She may have had other children but Mary was the only one who survived to adulthood.

    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>
