The cottage which lay on the other side of the Sixtowns road, belonged, originally, to a Michael Conway who passed it on to his son Thomas (Tammy), hence, that family of Conways were known as the Tammys. In 1911, there is Thomas, his wife, Nancy, son Barney and daughters, Annie, Ellen and Susan, living in this house.
