Groups audience:
Gerry Keeffe had a flour and meal shop here in the 1960/70s. Roches had it before that. There are two Roche families shown in the cillage of Tullylease in the 1911 census but only one family had a shop - that was Thomas, Hanna and Moses J. Roche. Moses is such an unusual name for a Catholic man in Ireland that it may be a phonetic spelling by the family of Mossy. Mossy is a common, affectionate, abbreviation of Maurice. (link to handwritten spelling of Moses in 1911 census https://goo.gl/oUFGeP). Brodericks of Dromcolligher had the shop before Roche's. It appears to have been an shop fr over 150 years.
