Hi folks,
I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the other Leo Duffy that was mentioned earlier-he's a distant relative of mine. I know he was from Monaghan, and from a few different reports, I can gather he was involved in some way in the first Bloody Sunday shootings; and then went to the match in Croke Park that afternoon.
I'm aware of the circumstances of his passing in 1938, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with where else I might find out more info on him from his IRA days? Especially as in most of the reports about Bloody Sunday, he's actually listed as Leo Dunne (it's a witness statement from a Ned Kelliher that states it's actually Duffy) and I'm wondering whether I should be trying to look up about Leo Dunne too?
Sorry if this is asking a lot, am just starting off on this branch of a family tree so to speak, and have no idea where else to begin. Many thanks!
