Dublin / Re: Old IRA Dublin Brigade
« on: Sunday 11 July 10 02:25 BST (UK) »
Add my grandfather Henry C. Kennedy of the E Company, 1st Battalion. On the certificate it is hard to read the officers' names, William somebody and looks like Connell Byrne perhaps. The Brigadier's name is also hard to read.
"Charlie" as he was known met his wife Rose at one of the Cumann's in Dun Laoghaire against British Rule. They married and had 7 daughters and one son in Dublin. He was a painter by trade.
He was present when Kevin Barry was caught from under the truck. He commented some old Lady yelled "mind the child".
