Nora says there that she was surprised that my grandfather did not get the house as her father had Woods place, now Mossie’s. (the house in question is now Higgins’ where Paddy’s sister Margaret was married to Paddy Higgins) Nora goes on to say…Another strange thing is that Paddy’s old house was on land that went with her father’s place. He gave it over to Paddy some time in 1950 or 1957. She saw it in the deeds lately.
