I can add the information that Mary Fitzgerald must have been very proud of her family. For one thing, she named her son after her brother, Theobald Wolfe Tone Fitzgerald! Her son, Wolfe Tone (known as Tone) McDermott was my grandfather... Theobald and Joe (Joseph) McDermott, Mary's husband were together at Boland's Mills... pity more of the women's stories are so hidden in these searches/histories - Mary's identification of her young dead brother must have been hugely traumatic & Sheila Fitzgerald is also a veteran of 1916. Family lore tells it that Leo was killed on his 21st birthday.
