Hello Brian, I came across this comment you made on an internet search;
Thank you for most interesting material re Duras House. My grandfather, Florimond Quinn, was the son of the Count’s companion and agent, John Quinn. We acquired the house after the death of the Count and lived there until the 1920s. I’d be most grateful if you could pass this on to Guy de Framond. Best wishes,
Brian Lynch
As you possibly are aware, An Oige sold the hostel recently and I am the new owner. I intend to renovate the house and use it as my family home. I was wondering if you have any information or old photos that you could send me in relation to the house. I am trying to get an old photo of the house/grounds and perhaps you may have one of your grandfather there from 1920’s? I would appreciate if you can offer any help with images before we begin restoration. Kind Regards
Good morning – I tried to email you yesterday, and I don’t think it went through — so apologies if this is a duplicate. I am a distant cousin of yours, it appears. My grandfather, Patrick Quinn, was John Quinn’s youngest son, and emigrated to the US in the early 1900’s. My family is traveling to Ireland (my siblings and spouses) and I noticed on this website that a John Donellan, the current owner of Duras House, had emailed you. Would you be willing to share his email with me (or send him mine)? We will be visiting Kinvara in September and I would like to drive my family to the homestead to take a look (with the current owner’s permission). I also have a number of photos from my grandfather that I would be happy to share, if you are interested. Thank you so much. Kind regards,
