Yes Eileen this is my grandfather.  A lot of those involved in the 1916 rising used to get together in 35 Golden Lane, in facgt a lot of arms were hidden there.  There was a lot of memorabilita inclkuding photographs which I believe my Uncle Joseph O'Brien may have.  Unfortunately I dont have anything. I believe there may have been a signed Proclamation also.  Has anybody else replied to your postings ?  Dympna

I think this was my grandfather - I wouod have been 8 at the time he died so I would need to see the death notice - I know that he was in the OLd IRA and interned with De Valera - and he lived in Golden Lane and had 8 children - my father was Kevin O'Brien who died in 1994.  If you read this I'd love to hear froj you.
