Dublin / Re: Micheal Collins and 'The Squad'.
« on: Thursday 02 July 15 21:19 BST (UK) »Hi bry4n0
It's David Corri nephew of Captain William Corri, and son of Haydn Corri, B Coy 3rd Batt & 3 Coy 5th Battallion (Engineers). My nephew, Eamon's son and Bill's grandnephew, is also David Corri but I did'nt realize that there was another David here.
It's interesting to think that Bill has a granddaughter in Scotland, as the first Irish Corri, also Haydn, was born in Edinburgh and was brother to Sophia Corri, the Scottish classical composer. Both were children of Domenico Corri a publisher of music in Edinburgh and London.
Hi there,
That very picture hangs in my mother's hallway in Glasgow, sunny Scotland, as Captain William Corri was her grandfather. I believe that would mean that David Corri would be a not so distant relative to myself. We keep in regular contact with family in Ireland, one being a David Corri, Grandson to Captain William Corri also.
I believe my mother has been given more information about 'the squad' through certain books that have been written recently.
