James Gorman was probably born c1804 in Kilkenny, townland unknown.

James married 1836, Paulstown to Eleanor/Ellen Cahill of Low Grange.
Died Liverpool Lancashire, 1874
Children - Michael, Mary, Daniel, Catherine, John, Ellen, James, Catherine.
Sibs - John, Daniel, Bridget, Thomas.

I don't know for certain that the Gorman family always lived in Goresbridge, or possibly moved there from another townland. Probably the Cahill family had been in Low Grange for some time, but I have found nothing to show where James Gorman and his family lived before 1836 in either Kilkenny or even Co Carlow. I wondered if James' father moved to Goresbridge during the tithe wars disturbances.

Eleanor/Ellen Cahill was born c1814 at Low Grange near Goresbridge and died 1854 in a cholera epidemic in Liverpool, Lancashire. There were several Cahill families in Low Grange at the time, but I cannot find which one was Ellen's birth family.

Can anyone help?

    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>

    Darby O'Gill and the Little People 1959 Movie Premiere

    <p>In 1959, Disney's Irish-themed movie "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" premiered in Dublin. Most of its stars were Irish actors, save for Scotsman Sean Connery (who became James Bond three years later). Walt Disney himself was of Irish extraction; his great-grandfather Arundel Elias Disney emigrated to America from Gowran, Co Kilkenny, in 1823. Connery, the film's last surviving actor, passed away on Halloween 2020.</p>
