Who do you think you are?

In the Parish of Drumglass

In the Townland of Drumcoo

I scrolled back in time

In search of you.

And found you in Number 10

Barrack Street; Head of house.

Samuel, migrant from L'derry

Self professed foul merchant!

In a 2^nd rate house

With a slate roof, not thatch

And stone walls, not mud.

Bereft of fowl house or piggery

Or cow house, store, or shed.

These, the preserve of neighbours

Three doors up

Who kicked with the other foot.

Barrack Street, a medley of RCs

And C of Is and Presbyterians.

Teresa Culbert, aged 73,

The only RC in the row

With a piggery, a turf house

And a shed to her name.
