Yes, Philip's family kept animals to graze in Arderry since the family had rights to commonage (Land held in common).. They must have had a small house where a member of the family could stay when he had to go to Arderry tend the cattle. etc. Tourmakeady at that time was in Co. Galway. Later the boundaries were redrawn and it became Mayo. Therefore James could have been Philip's son, James or Jimmy as he was called. If 14 was his correct age it would mean he was born in 1887 and I have his birth as 1884, which would mean he was 17 at the time.
