I think I have the same eight pages - my father was a first cousin of Anas. Which of the Redmond siblings are you connected with? I remember Betty, Tom and Janie, met them when my parents and I stayed in Seafield in the 60s.

I've just come across your post from 2009 in which you mention your grandfather Raymond O'Brien who died on his way home from Mass aged 54, and I'm wondering is this the same Raymond O'Brien, my greatgrandfather, who is reported to have met a similar death.

The names McLaughlin and Haggerty are most likely to be from Donegal, and specifically Inishowen.

Smokestoomuch - I only came across your 2009 posts today - the Raymond Brien you are looking for, who was employed at Courtown, was my great-grandfather. He married Anastasia Eustace, daughter of the blacksmith John Eustace, and they had five sons and one daughter. The story in our family was that Raymond (O')Brien died as a result of his experiences during the 1940s famines which had weakened him. He dropped dead walking back from Sunday Mass with his family.
