The file you are referring to states that Mary Byrne’s husband was called John Byrne and from reading her file it would appear she was already married when serving during the Rising as the file states she was cooking food for her husband.

I've been emailing Denis and yes that is not his grandmother even though it could have been the same man as some of them used middle names in some of their documents. It was from the address and other information in "Mary Byrnes" pension application that proved it wasn't his Mary Byrne not her husbands given name in her file.
There are no other "Mary Byrne nee Stapleton" listed in the published online pension applications.

Hi Rathmore, we found that Mary Stapleton but unfortunately it's not the same woman as Stapleton is her married name and her maiden name is Slevin. We are looking for a Mary Byrne maiden name Stapleton. A lot of women and men didn't sign the rolls of honour or apply for pensions and both myself and Joe have come up empty on her and think it might well be the case in this instance. I sent Denis a photo and he has identified her in it with other women of Cumann na mBan so this is the best proof of her involvement to date.

Many thanks Joseph, despite your good intention of not trying to sell books, you have been most unsuccesful and I have ordered a copy - I am sure it will be most valuable and I look forward to reading it.

If you have any further details about Mary (her age or address?) I'd be really grateful as this may help confirm if it is my grandmother?

Once again, thankyou for responding so promptly

Denis

Hi Denis,

My Great-Grandmother and Grandfather knew your Grandmother well. They were in the Columcille Branch together and in Cummann Na mBan together. On Easter Monday our Grandmothers were stationed in the O'Dwyers Club, Skippers Alley opposite the Four Courts with first aid supplies & bringing ammunition along with my Grandmother to the Volunteers including my Great-Uncle Liam O'Carroll, & my Grandfather Larry Lawlor both of the the 1st Battalion Four Courts, A Company Dublin Brigade. My Great-Grandparents wrote letters to aid your Grandmother to get her military pension, along with my Great-Uncle & Great Aunt Annie O'Carroll. If you want to chat about it some more my email is Removed

Your Grandmother lived at 28 Malachi Road, Manor Place, Dublin 7 when she applied for her pension.
Best regards,

Audrey
