That's great Shiraz thank you, that's been really helpful. I think I may have got a bit confused between Mary Ryan and Annie Farrell, two of the sisters.  Annie Farrell stayed at 12 Corporation Street and her children were born there I think.  Can I send you a follow up message privately?

Hi Ocean One.
My father George Connolly was with James Seery in the ICA City Hall Garrison, under the command of my uncle Captain Sean Connolly. My father and your grandfather were part of the detachment of six men under the command of Tom Kain who captured the  guard room at the upper Castle yard. They went on the run together after the surrender and my father hid out at a Seery house. Not sure if it was in your grandfather's home or somewhere else.  My father later married Kathleen Seery...she was a daughter of Mary Anne Seery (nee Brady) who was related to Patrick Pearse's mother. I'm trying to find out what was your father's relationship to my Grandmother and also the Pearse connection. If you can throw any light on this situation I'd be grateful.

Could the "Seery House" you mention have been 12 Corporation Street where Daniel Seery was living (it looks like the house had some connection to Phil Shanahan according to the census)?
