Greetings, Working for an outdoor museum here in Canada, I'm pulling together published material on and images of the lives of Protestant Irish "middling" farm families who emigrated from North Tipperary County, Ireland, to Canada in the 1820-1840 pre-Famine period. I have plenty of material on their lives in Canada but have been unable to find much on what the domestic lives of these "middling" farm families might have been like in Ireland before emigration. I am particularly interested in diet, home-life, furnishings, etc. Any recommendations as to good secondary source books (in print, if possible), images, etc., or folk life museums depicting the lives of Protestant farmers in early 19th century Tipperary much appreciated. (I do have a few images from the National Museum of Ireland.) Happy to share results with interested others, just drop me a line. Many thanks! Chris M.
