Johnadamas, thank you for posting those articles.

I found the article that I read-the one on May Day remembrances-to be very interested. However, I've a question about the hyperlinks within that article. I clicked on the words within that article that were hyperlinked because I was seeking more information about those terms. However, the hyperlink took me to an edit page and not a page that provided more information.

For instance, take this passage:

"Old Mrs Smallwood who lived in a quaint old cottage in the Bishopric, always used to go round on May Day with an immense garland drawn on a trolley by two or three boys. On the top of her garland she used to mount her little model cow, indicative of her trade - milk selling. Gaily dressed up herself in bows and ribbons, she used to take her garland around the town, call upon all the principal residents and tradespeople, to whom she was well known, and get well patronised".

In that passage, the first use of "garland" is hyperlinked. But what does "garland" mean in that context? Does it mean a flower decorated pillar?
