Thank you Vi for this story. It allows me to envision the work my great grandfather Willy Bannon did. He built many of the roads and small bridges in there area which are still in use today.

I am particularly interested in the cemeteries of St. Ernan C.I. Church in Kingscourt, plus the other OLD cemetery there as well.... and also the Church of Ireland Cemetrey at Shercock, Cavan. Are these published anywhere? Hope someone can help. Thank you so much. Brenda
Indeed many soldiers etc were led into bogs by people being chased who knew where the footpads were. Where I lived before there was actually a road made across the bog during famine times and my land map showed it cutting across the corner of the field, no sign of it now as it was covered over again but the "road" went across the bog to River Shannon. The bog floods in winter yet one can actually walk across it if they know where the "road" is, go off it and sink 2 or 3 feet. A lot of the old bogs had their safe pads to cross them.

Not every family followed the traditional naming pattern. My father's family (Vaughan from Fermanagh) seems to have never named a child after anyone in the family. My great-great-grandfather was Christopher, and my great-grandfather James had no sons named Cristopher. My grandfather William had no sons named either James or Christopher, and no daughters named after his mother, and also no children named after his wife's parents. My father emigrated to the US and married my mother, who was from Tyrone and whose family used the traditional naming pattern. It was a topic on which my parents disagreed. My father refused to name the first two girls after any relative, but relented for the third girl; my mother grabbed her chance and named her after both grandmothers at once. The next child was a boy, and my mother wanted to make him a junior. My father absolutely refused. To protect my brother's privacy, let's say my father was Alexander and everyone called him Alex. My father said, "When he's young, everyone will call us Big Alex and Little Alex, and the boy will hate being called Little Alex. Then when he's grown, everyone will call us Old Alex and Young Alex, and I'M going to hate that." I've wondered if this reasoning was passed down through the generations. He relented when my mother promised that he would always be called Sandy. My brother has eight children, none named after any relative, nor are any of the others in the next generation.
