Ju Ju Anderson has kindly decided to share her photographs of life at Corraun House in the 1930’s with us. Ju Ju is the daughter of William and Annie Anderson. William was once the gardener at Corraun House when it was still owned by the Dickens family.

Hi All,
Just want to say a sincere Thank You to the people of Currane for all the good wishes extended to Aisling and Eneas on the occasion of their wedding in Our Lady Queen of the Universe Church on 30 July this year. Jim and I would like to say a special thanks to all our friends and neighbors in Bollinglanna who came out to wave and greet the wedding at it passed through the village. We were blessed with the weather, the sun shone for the whole day leaving us with some treasured pictures of our scenic coastline.
Regards,

Maura & Jim Murray

Meredith Baker, 30th July, 2004
Thank you everyone for taking us into your homes in hearts while we mourned Joey Moran last month.
Especially we thank Joey’s family. We could have never got through this sad experience without all of you!
Elizabeth, Josie and soon to be Emmett (as well as Judy, Roy, Maryalice and Meredith) will never forget each and every one of you.
We could have not asked for a better and more supportive group of people.

We hold each of you in our hearts as we did Joey!

God bles you all!

Hi,
I am Joe Moran’s sister in law (his brothers are Tommy Josie, Patrick, Owen etc.) and just wanted to pass this picture on of Joe and my sister Liz’s son Josie Moran. He is obviously a future soccer star!
He will be one on May 3, 2004.

Thank you,
Meredith Baker
