Thanks for this story!

(County Cork Ireland)

I don’t know anything of Washi Bach, but I googled Tigín Bach for my mother in Ireland. She had heard of a man who lived in co Cork before she was born and she wondered if Bach was his name or a Nick name .. Tigín ( Tie- Geen) is Timothy or ( ín) little Timothy. He would have been a neighbour of her parents. His stone cottage had collapsed by 1930’s when she was a child. I can’t find him on any census or Births register. Thanks again for your story !!

Dear Amy

All these memories of tramps, or vagrants as the law regarded them, are bitter sweet and part of world of poverty and Workhouses we hope never to see again.

Thank you.
