Aisling Walsh was born in 1890.
She was the eleventh child of Michael and Helen Walsh.
Aisling was cared for mainly by her older siblings.
Aisling married Dermot Tobin in 1907.
They had 5 children:
Eileen b. 1909
Grainne b. 1911
Niall b. 1912
Pierce b. 1914
Ronan b. 1915.
She supplemented the meagre income Dermot earned on the farm by
performing many casual jobs,
including char, laundry for wealthier neighbours,
and sewing of dresses for special occasions, such as First Holy Communion.

For reflection ...
Aisling came from a large poor family.
She knew how to work hard and make things stretch.
Do I take my income for granted?
How could I economise?
