Summary: | Childhood memories of life in Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal.
As noted in the Accessions Record: Account of family and various neighbours, including a wise woman, Janie McIntyre. Also some account of Protestant-Catholic relations in this part of Donegal. Memoir mainly relates to her childhood although she mentions her marriage to a Catholic and the birth of her twin children in Glenties hospital. ND but seems to refer to c 1910 - 1925, and was probably written when Mrs McHugh was in middle or old age. Very vividly written and interesting document, somewhat loosely constructed.
