My 2 x great grandfather is Edmund Loughlin, born 18 May 1832 in Castlewarren, Kilkenny. His parents were Patrick Loughlin (from Castlewarren, Kilkenny) & Sarah MacDonnell (possible from Gorwan, Kilkenny). Edmund was one of 7 known children - Patt 1830 - 1832; Edmund 1832 - 1875; Patrick 1833 - 1907; Mary 1835 - unknown; John 1840 - 1880; Bridget 1845 - unknown; Gregory 1850 - 1828. Edmund along with brothers Patrick & Gregory all came to Australia in the 1850s and married.

Edmund married Catherine Murphy (1841 - 1900) who was born in Ballygurteen, Paulstown, Kilkenny. Catherine's parents were Laurence Murphy & Catherine Doyle. Catherine is one of 6 known children - Patrick 1832 - 1885; Mary 1834 - 1894; Bridget Ellen 1836 - unknown; Anne 1839 - 1884; Catherine 1841 - 1900; Margaret Maria 1844 - 1880. I have had DNA matches to for the Loughlin family in the USA & Canada as well as Australia, it would be great to find others on here who are also related.  
 

Furthur research using DNA has shown that Edmunds father Partrick Loughlin had a twin brother by the name of John whose son James Loughlin, born 1817 in Kilkenny immigrated to America in abt 1840.

    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>
