Susan Traynor was my grandmother on my mother's side but she died before I was born & my mother spoke little of her as my grandmother was in her 40s when my mother was born & my mother was raised essentially in a convent by nuns.
My grandmother's parents were Michael / James Traynor & Bridget / Biddie née John both born in the early 1850's. My grandmother had two sisters both born in Ireland Mary / Minnie born 1888 &  Annie born 1889. When my grandmother was 6 years old the family had moved to England & were living in Pilkington, Lancashire. She died in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire where some of my family still live.

I'm interested to understand where exactly they came from in Ireland & why the family moved to England & if they kept in contact with or there is evidence of any descendents left in Ireland.

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>
