Ireland / Stonecutters, Roscommon & Galway
« on: Wednesday 21 October 09 03:58 BST (UK) »
Can anyone tell me about the life of stone cutters in Roscommon and Galway around 1820 to 1850? My gggreat father and his family did this work. I know many times the skill is handed down from generation to generation. Am wondering if stone cutters then travelled for their work, especially to large cities, i.e. Ballinasloe.
Any help you can give would be most appreciative. Thanks so much for any information.
