Angela's Ashes Part 2 - Memories

In the second installment of our Angela's Ashes documentary we speak to Frank Mc Court's wife Ellen, his brothers Malachy, Michael and Alfie, various cousins and old friends Billy Campbell, Eric Lynch and Una Heaton about their memories of the Pulitzer prize winning author. They share their insights and amusing stories on Frank's early life, his character and his views on Limerick. Our documentary features music from Mícheál Ó Súilleabhaín and photos from Frank's family album. It is a moving insight into a fascinating man's life. His wife Ellen told us 'I would tell him to enjoy it because he earned it and I think he would agree'. For more info visit Facebook.com/LeamyHouseArt

What happened to Michael McCourt?

who are these Frank's cousins? As far I can remember in the book, Frank says Aunt Aggie didn't have any children and Uncle Ab wasn't married. So whose kids are these cousins?

[@MANthe93]

I think Tommy Sheehan must be one of the six kids of uncle Tom, Angela's oldest brother, who married Jane from Galway. The kids were put into orphanage after both Tom and Jane died of consumption. While Hugh McRory certainly is son of one of Malachy sr's sisters for he mentions in The interview that he lived in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and Frank reports that his aunt Eva lived there, so McRory is probably son of Eva McCourt.

Does Frank's grandparents home in Toome, Antrim, Northern Ireland still stand?

And who's that boy in the picture at 1:55? That's not Frank, Malachy or Billy. Frank and Malachy were on first row and billy was in second and this boy is in third as it is described in here: www.limerickcity.ie/media/mccourt,%20frank%20001.pdf
