My family are from Cavan. I lived there in 1958 and we got electricity in 1960. Lovely hearing about the family the house and outhouses .All very similar to the layout in many of the houses at that time. My family name is Galligan very common name in Cavan. I live in Liverpool now and can remember my time in Ireland with great foundness.
What a wonderful, genuine family. I'm from Dublin but love country folk.. Always loved visiting friends all over our wonderful country. Great.. Honest stories.... Wish you all love and happiness through life... God bless
A very touching video. I would like to thank the Farrelly family for posting it and for sharing their experiences with the many in Ireland and further afield who remember a time when this was the ordinary life of so many families across the country. I'm not from Cavan myself but rather from the south of the country - in my part of Munster this was already a very old-fashioned house in the 1950s. Nonetheless, as we see here, it provided a home for a full family of children who have since moved on to the much-maligned bungalow or indeed, life on faraway shores.
Far from being “mean” I’ve found the Cavan people the nicest and most genuine people that one could meet, even though I’m from Co. Meath, I knew a Cavan man from my 13 years in Superquinn 20 years ago - and even if there are potholes on Cavan’s roads, they are nothing compared to the roads around my area of Manchester U.K. where I currently live
Hope you restore this house to original state if you can. This is a reminder of how people overcame adversity and survived. God bless the people who lived here - this is real history. Today we celebrate the 4th of July in USA. The Irish contributed so much to the USA and world in general. We are free today, in part, because of their and other immigrant's sacrifices. Slainte.
Lovely video, reminds me of my uncles home. My mother was from Kingscourt, Co Cavan. As a family we spent many summer's there from 1969 through to the 70's.
Itscsad to see it run down so much ..I'm sure it could be done up again ..my late husband Rip came from Co Monahan he was born in a cottage like that it's sad to see them in ruined God bless you Amen
Wow I just came across this video. I wonder if I'm related to you all. My 4 x great grandmother was Margaret Farelly, she came to Canada about 1835. I know she is listed as being a flax spinner when she was 22 yrs old. I believe her father's name was Arthur. She married a fellow Cavan named Edward Coyle. They had a nice life here in Canada. I'm going to try and send the photos I have.
Thank you so much. My ancestors on my mother's side came from Drumhecknagh. On my father's side, there is a distant ancestor from Cavan. I've looked at the Cavan countryside on Google maps. A beautiful place.
Work with two Cavan girls two of the most pleasant girls ya ever did meet also been killisandra few times rented a boat of an auwl fella I haven’t been down in about 8 year I wonder if he’s still alive was in his early 80s when we met him
Are none of them interested in taking the old farm over & fixing it up ?? I would love to take it over & do that if I were still young & had the money - what a wasted opportunity - it's crying out to be loved again !
My mother is a Farley and I can find documents with the spelling you use of our ancestor Terrence (my mom’s great-grandfather). According to records, he was from Liverpool before immigrating to Philadelphia. I think Terrence’s father was Thomas who was born in County Cavan. I found some tenant record of him in Killashandra. Anyway, hey distant cousin! Hope to visit the homeland one day myself as well ☘️
I am watching this in Perth West Australia. I grew up on a farm in County Cavan betweem Cavan and Ballyjamesduff. I would like to know what part of Cavan this is, I know there are Farrelly's aroung Virginia. Thank you, I have exactly the same memories of how life was back then.
Ha, That's mental. I'm a Farrelly ( we share the same name full name) who's great grandfather John was from Cavan who's dad is Bernard Farrelly incidentally my grandfather who was born in Dublin and Immigrated with his father and two older sisters to Scotland was Bernard named after his grandfather all from Cavan..
When I was a child almost every one in church hailed from Ireland although the church was not in Ireland. People were surprised that our family did not come from Ireland. The parish school danced in green for School and church activities. The was a church social club which was Irish etc. Now thanks to the use of contraception the Irish have almost disappeared from the parish and have been replaced by Indians and Fillipinos. Contraception is a curse.
Contraception is a blessing. Much better than having children starve. If you didn't live in the "before times" and didn't know their suffering, withhold your judgement.

My family is also from Cavan. My fathers name was I believe changed to Farley when they came to America.
I’m your cousin in America. My grandma was Rose Farrley who moved to America circa 1900s.

My Grandmothers family was from Cavan. I so want to visit. For some reason Ireland calls to me. And want to see the beauty of that country.

Very interesting. A very nice polite gentleman. Thank you. My best friends years ago had the surname Farrelly, they were such a lovely family.
Great to hear all the stories from times gone by. Jim and Elaine sure do know how to tell a tale or two...
Aaaw this is a lovely video. My Irish great grandparents came from Kilnagun, Thomas and Mary Anne Farrelly. Wonder if we are related? 🤔
A few Farrellys around Virginia no doubt!
God bless the memory of Margret Brady who became "Texas" Peg.
Should do it up it wil bel great again.
Thank you for the tour. I’m an Aussie but explored Cavan. Out of all of Ireland, I found the accent in Cavan, the hardest to understand lol.

Have you a house for me too?love yuo all in eire.
Whats the story on the property why is everything so run down? Its such a shame
The gentleman told them in this video, they left that house in 1968. They probably moved to a bigger better modern home.
It is the old house. The farm is still worked by the family, but now they have plumbing.
Did you know any of the Rogers' from Kingscourt, Co. Cavan?

And the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland will be a reminder of the control the Catholic Church had over the Irish people.
