1966 - Jack Carrucan at Dalton St Eltham farmhouse156 viewsPatrick Carrucan's block was in Dalton Street in Eltham. This was not originally a Carrucan farm but was bought by the Carrucans in the 1850's from a farming family called Ball. The old homestead was on the corner of Bible and Dalton Streets and remained intact and occupied until Jack Carrucan died in 1976. The photo below shows Jack in front of the house. The photo shown was taken in 1966 and shows Jack at the front gate of the farmhouse, facing Bible St. All that remains now is the cyprus tree.

2000 - Fanore at Sunset155 viewsThis photo was given to us by Shane MacNamara, whose grandfather Patrick MacNamara was born in Fanore. He is related to both the Woods and Carrucans in Fanore. He commented:
Hannah Woods was the sister of my ancestor Frances Woods. Frances Woods married John Casey and their daughter Mary married my great grandfather Patrick McNamara.
I've also gone to Fanore. The first time was in 1982 where I spent an afternoon with Jim and Nancy Carrucan. One of my great aunts was living with the Carrucans. Unfortunately, I'm sketchy on which one and I think she was Nancy Carrucan's mother.
It's interesting you mention the Carrucans connection with fishing. I can vividly remember Jim Carrucan showing me a big catch of fish from the previous day. He mentioned at the time that he was the only one in the village who went fishing.
My grandfather (Patrick MacNamara) could not swim and as young children they were told stories of sea monsters presumably to keep them from venturing too close to the sea. Maybe that is why the Carrucans were the only fishermen in the village.

1926 approx - Carrucan photo at Dalton St - Betty in front155 viewsOn the front porch at the Dalton St Eltham farmhouse circa 1926. Mary Carrucan (nee Sweeney) is second from left with her eyes partially closed andher daughter Betty is in the front middle. Ellen (Nana) Sweeney is on the left, then Mary, then Nellie Oliver, then an unidentified schoolgirl, then Nessie (Ellen) Sweeney. We cannot think who the lady in the cane chair might be. It seems possible she is one of the relations on the Carrucan side.

1910 approx - Culla Hill original hut - Ellen (Nana) and Kathleen (Cassie) Sweeney with Michael Carrucan and Michael O'Heare154 viewsNana (Ellen Sweeney) and Cassie (Kathleen Sweeney) proudly pose in front of this humble structure, the first hut built by Thomas Sweeney, possibly as early as 1843. John Francis Sweeney was probably born therein.
The two other figures are Mick Carrucan (who married Mary Sweeney in 1910) and Michael O'Heare, a well known local solicitor who was one of the groomsmen at Michael Carrucan's wedding in 1910.
These two photographs of the hut at Culla Hill are also prefect illustrations of the Sweeney family’s use of bush timber. Not only is the hut made split palings, split shingles and hand whittled slabs, the picket fence in the background is again made of split hardwood. We must make the best of these photographs to show how hard-working pioneers like our ancestors could turn the timber on their land into materials for their needs rather than purchase the products of commercial mills. It was the kind of ‘make-do’ ingenuity which bespeaks their humble Irish origins.

1906 - John West and his sister Margaret153 viewsJohn (b 1880) and Margaret (b 1886) were two of the 13 children born to William George West (1856-1935) and Martha Coleman (1959-1924). They were grandchildren of Bridget Carrucan and John Coleman. This photo shows them around 1906.

1910 - John Coleman's cottage in Eltham circa 1910153 viewsThis photo shows John Coleman's cottage which stood on the corner of Main St and Diamond Creek Road up towards Research. It is almost identical to Peter Carrucan's cottage which still stands at the corner of Bible St and Napoleon St in Eltham.
If we assume it is normally the eldest son who takes over the family farm, then it would have gone to John Patrick Coleman (born 1857). He and his wife Mary Agnes (nee McHugh) had 3 children - John Francis (born 1895), Agnes and Edward. Now there are 3 children in the photo and they are in the right chronological order. The size of the eldest boy might indicate an age of around 15 so that would put the photo at around 1910.
While this fits the context, it is very much speculation. If you have further information, please contact me...Tim
