maybe the 1911 Census would help with the Surname and Placename. Is there an online 1901 or 1911 census for Scotland like we have for Ireland?

Hi Corsande,

Here's an extract from Pat McCrea's WS413 just to confuse things further:-

QUOTE:
I was mobilized for 35 Lr Gardiner St together with the remainder of the Transport men. It was between 8 and 9 o'clock when I arrived there and received instructions from Dick McKee and Peadar Clancy. They were together in the hall. I was told what was to take place on Sunday morning, each car with two drivers was allocated a certain street or area. I was told to assist the unit that was operating at 28 Lr. Baggot St. As well as I remember, the men on that job were a couple of members of the squad - p. Griffin, Eddie Byrne and Mick Fleming. Mick Fleming was in the army later.

The British agent in Baggot St., listed for elimination was, as far as I know, Captain Baggally, who was believed to have been one of Kevin Barry's torturers. On that Sunday morning I left home about 7.30 o'clock and made my way to the dump in North Great Charles St. I met the remainder of the men there - at least some of them. We collected our guns and got out the car. We timed ourselves to be in Baggot St. about five minutes to 9 o'clock. We arrived there up to time - I think it was two or three minutes to p - and within three minutes another man, who was on the job, turned up. We parked the car a little to the rear of the house on the opposite side of the street. when our men arrived there was no delay, as arranged. Three or four men entered the house, leaving one man on each side of the building outside as a guard for the men who had actually gone into the house. They had particulars of the agent's bedroom. When the room was entered he tried to escape through the window, but before he reached the window he was put out of action. The job was completed in the space of a few minutes. We got away without incident. We left Baggot St and we came down Merrion square and Westland row. When we came into Merrion square we picked up a few men coming off the Mount St. job - one was Herbert Conroy. We arrived back at the dump without any interference from anybody. We replaced the car and dumped our guns. Headquarters that morning was at 6 North Richmond St - Byrnes - in case of casualties, and for the purpose of making our reports. I think we were about the first unit to arrive there. After a time the other units came in. Sean Russell was there. I think he was quartermaster of the Dublin Brigade at that time.

Hello Telboy,

I might be able to help you with some additional information. Before Patrick & Mary Lawlor lived at that address there was a Thomas Lawlor living in Ballybought. He was renting a house from one of my ancestors.

Patrick Lawlor's occupation in 1901 & 1911 was "Coachman/Domestic Servant", there is therefore no but doubt that he was working for the Duncan family at Tonlagee House. Look them up in the census also in Athy Rural - Tonlagee

What was his name see can i find something on him

Edward Byrne - living at 9 Annadale Avenue in 1911 census aged 11 years old.

He later becomes one of the squad "Twelve Apostles". I don't want to infringe on an existing topic - See other discussion http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,406100.0.html but if you have anything to add on the background to the volunteers in Fairview at that time then that would be great - or other references to Edward.
