Hang on now, the famine started before 1845, potato blight hit several years before that. 1832 is named as the beginning as it was when the catholics started to have difficulty with blight, leading up to the 'black year' of 1847. Tch!
OH CRAP, I said that Samhain was celebrated on Hallowe'en. Damn it.
