I am researching john j ogrady have made some enquiries in relation to shelbourne hotel have not been able to make any connection to same sofar except his unit was under fire from there as the british army occupied the shelbourne.If you have any more information on how he was connected to the shelbourne let me know i might be able to check it out. This is areply to an enquiry from duffygrady in2008.John O Grady was a volunteer in jacobs who was shot and died while on a sortee from jacobs to try and relieve the pressure off bolands mill he was the only causualty from the jacobs garrison he is mentioned inthe witness statements from jacobs which can be found on the national archives web site.These witness statements are worth a look at as they are quite informative and give an insite to the happenings in this area.dub2
