Irish?[edit]

Was the jingle really unique to Ireland, let alone Cork? The term is used in Daphne du Maurier's novel Jamaica Inn, which is set in 19th century Cornwall. (Unless this was anatopism on Du Maurier's part, which I suppose is a possibility.) Muzilon (talk) 03:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In my great-grandfather’s memoirs he writes “His father possessed a pony and jingle”. He grew up late 19th C near Camborne, Cornwall, UK so it seems this usage was common there too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serenitymusic (talkcontribs) 13:11, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
