Dublin / Re: Mac Donnell family Fitzwilliam Lane 1911 Census
« on: Sunday 13 January 19 16:11 GMT (UK)  »
I don’t know if I’m confusing matters here but my grandfather , Peter McDonnell , is the one on the 1911 census form for 11.6 Fitzwilliam Lane and who married Mary Ellen Brennan who is on the 1911 census form living at 2 Fitzwilliam Lane. My mother Christina , their daughter ( born 26/12/28 ) lived in Fitzwilliam Lane but not sure if this was at 2 or 11.6. She moved to Clonard Rd , Dublin with her parents at the end of the thirties.Peter’s brother , Andrew , is as far as I know , the civilian shot near Clanwilliam House during the Rising.

Peter McDonnell was my grandfather and married Mary Ellen Brennan , also of Fitzwilliam Lane. My mother used to tell me that Peter had a brother called Andrew who served in the British army during WW1 but who was killed in Dublin ‘ by the British ‘ and that his body had lain in the street for 2-3 days before the British allowed his mother ( my great grandmother ) to recover it . Looking at threads on the internet I think Andrew was the civilian killed near Clanwilliam House during the battle of Mount Street bridge / Boland’s mill.

Dublin / Easter 1916
« on: Monday 25 April 11 17:16 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find out if a relative of mine was a member of the Irish Volunteeres involved in the Easter Rising of 1916 . My grandfather's brother was Andrew McDonnell who lived in Fitzwilliam Lane close to where the 3rd Battallion ( De Valera ) was based ( Northumberland Road / Lower Mount Street ). In Charles Townshend's book Easter 1916 there is a mention of Andrew McDonnell on page 258  referring to E Company 3rd Battalion
