Patrick Laughrea

Patrick Laughrea

Gender
Male

Pictured here are my granduncles Patrick Laughrea (1861-1954) and Peter Laughrea (1875-1964).

They are the grandchildren of Irish immigrants Patrick Loughry (1800 Tyrone — 1886), Mary Patton (1802 Donegal — 1854), John Sullivan (1811 Wexford, Ireland — 1892) and Mary Prendergast (1809 Kilkenny, Ireland — 1874), who all immigrated in Quebec in 1832. Patrick, Peter and their brother Thomas Laughrea (1868-1966) lived all their lives on what is known as Laughrea Road in St Pierre de Broughton, Quebec.

The presence of these three bachelor brothers along the same road for their whole lives led it to be officially called Laughrea Road (“Chemin Laughrea”, or “Chemin des Laughrea”).

Despite being a farmer his whole life, Peter always wore a tie!

    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>
