Bridget Starrs Cottage in Drumragh parish. Note the turkeys in the foreground. This picture shows Rosanna Starrs, born 1874, Omagh with her sister
Bridget Starrs, born 1862 in Omagh. They are standing in front of
Bridget's cottage. Bridget was the mother of Joseph and grandmother
of Rosanna, John and Bernard in the above photographs. This was taken
in Drumragh parish, but I'm not sure of exact townland. I do know
that in 1901 census they were in Blacksessagh, but can't say if this
was here.She was my great aunt. I dont know if it was common to keep
turkeys, but do know that one of my Tyrone Starrs ancestors was known
as 'Patrick the poultry man'. I assumed from this he kept hens and
chickens. Starrs Family mowing oats Below a close up on the ladies and a turkey. |
