Dear all,
I am an Irish historian based at the University of Cambridge. I am researching a book on the children of the executed men of the Easter Rising, and how their lives unfolded after the events of 1916. Other themes include to what extent their father's death affected them, how politically engaged they were, how they interacted with the Irish state and its commemorative activities, and their inter-familial relationships with their siblings and mother. Not all the 1916 executed men had families - only Clarke, Connolly, MacBride, Mallin, MacDonagh, Ceannt, but they left sixteen children behind them about whom very little is really known.
I would be really interested and excited to hear from any of you about any of James Connolly's children. Quite a lot is known about Nora and Roddy, but much less information is in the public domain about Ina, Moira and Fiona. Equally, if any of you had any suggestions as to further avenues of possible enquiry, I would be very grateful.

*Many thanks,
