    It appears that there 2 Inishbofin Islands, it is a good job that In the year 668, Saint Colmán did know this as he founded a monastery on Inishbofin Connemara during that year,

      Well spotted, That is correct, all able body men had to emigrate to earn a living and send money home to their families, many married women had to bring their young families up on their own, Hard sad times for many

    The elderly lady Maggie is a very fine looking woman, she could have married any man she wanted had she moved to the mainland. But then again, maybe having no man kept her beautiful.
