Looking for info on my great-great grandfather James Little (born 1798), wife Rosie Bayley Little (born 1801). They emigrated to Derby, CT, USA around 1850.  Only tie to Co Cavan that I can verify is Rosie's death certificate (CT) that indicates she was born in County Cavan in 1801.  They had two children that I know of- Maryann born 1836, and Patrick Francis (my great grandfather) born 1839.

James had a brother Patrick Little,with a wife Ellen. Ellen and a grandson Patrick emigrated to Derby, CT, USA aboard the clippership Shakespeare arriving July 3, 1843- no mention of what happened to husband Patrick.  Son Patrick (got way too many Patrick Littles in my tree!) arrived in CT between 1840 and 1842.

I have searched RootsIreland to no end, but can't tie any of these folks back to any county in Ireland.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    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>
