Re: Land owned by Quine family
In Response To: Re: Land owned by Quine family ()

When I said John was a tailor I meant that he made peoples' clothes.

THe two parcels were very small crofts consisting of two fields each. The Battery is located at the north end of Ballawillyn, East Baldwin, and the Thie Philip is at the north end of Ballachrink. THey are both alongside the public road through the valley.

Each had a small thatched cottage upon it, which has long since fallen down.

In Mr. J.E. Cowell's reminiscences of Baldwin (1957 - born 1874) he did not recall anyone living at the Battery.

My grandmother Amy Quine remembered an old lady there with a grandson when she was a girl (c1895) she would walk past every day on the way to school.
