What is recorded here
Children died young in County Mayo, perhaps from fever or birth, and adults laid them to rest together instead of scattering them across adult rows. The ground may have belonged to one townland or one desperate family line, though no name survives in the facts provided. When kids stop running outside, they populate the rooms they occupy.
