1800's Ardcarn Cottage

On my visit to Roscommon in March 2020 researching my ancestor's from Cleaheen I was shown a photograph by a local showing me what a typical 'well-to-do' cottage looked like at the end of the 1800's. He said that it was the family home of a Terence Glynn who was killed in 1921 in Dublin (apparently the holder of the photograph was a relative). I took a photograph of the photo on my mobile and did a little research when I returned back to England. Terence was born in 1895 in Drumshinnagh, Cootehall and was killed fighting for the Republican cause in Dublin when a hand grenade went off before he could throw it.
