UPDATED - Members of the Irish Citizen Army 1916 - Names List

[IrishMedals]

The 1916 medal was issued in 1941, all surviving veterans received an unnamed medal and the next of kin of those veterans who were either killed in action during the Rising of had died between 1916 and 1941 were issued with the medal with the persons name and service number on it. There is a roll of honour signed by all surviving veterans in the museum in Collins Barracks, you can get a copy of the page with your relatives name on it but it casts about 35 or 40 Euro per page.

Can anyone help with finding any information on how my great great grandfather James Power was killed by a bullet during the 1916 rising.
I obtained his death cert today and now know he's interned in a grave owned by Loftus Walshe. This Loftus has not appeared before in my family search. I was informed by the nice friendly lady in Glasnevin that there are a number of other persons buried in a double plot owned by Loftus.
Was he connected with the rising and was my James Power a member of some army. At 70 years of age I doubt it.
His address was 8 Buckingham Place.

Was he connected with the rising and was my James Power a member of some army. At 70 years of age I doubt it.

Most likely he was a civilian casualty. Official estimates: 254 civilians killed and over 2,200 wounded.

Hello cahail, Herbert Conroy was a member of " E " Co 2nd Batt. Dublin Brigade, he is mentioned in a W.S. made by Michael Joseph Lawless, W.S. NO.727

He was involved in an operation at 38 Upper Mount Street, 21.11.1920, to execute two British Secret Agents, which became known as " Bloody Sunday "

Some of my relatives were in the same Co. and involved in the same operation.

Hi Clare,

I've been trying to trace Liam Derrington's history too and was interested to see your post.  I'm a Derrington in Dublin too, though probably not closely related as I moved here from England 15 years ago.  Have you seen the record for your grandfather on the 1911 census?  He's listed as living with his widower father John Joseph in Stoneybatter - see http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000092748/

I'm not surprised he's sometimes listed as Darrington as the local accent can't handle Derrington - I'm always called Darrington here too!  A local historian once contacted me and asked if I was related to some Derringtons who were in Dublin (on Sundrive Road) in the 1950s.  Could they have been relations of yours?

Do you know how Liam's father came to be in Dublin and whether your branch of the family had been in Ireland for generations before?  His father is listed as being born in Antrim and they both spoke Irish & English - which is really intriguing as Derrington is an English name.  Coincidentally, my grandfather Leslie John Derrington moved from England to Antrim in the 40s, having married my grandmother, who was from Moneyglass.

I'm sure you know that most of the Derrington family (including my grandfather) originate from the Birmingham area.  My grandfather believed the name originated from the area: d'Erdington.  There is still a chapel to the d'Erdington family in Birmingham today.

All the best,

Maya

Does anyone have the names list for the Irish Citizen Army?  I know the thread is called that but i can't seem to find it here?  I'm looking for the name Frank Moss on the list of the Irish Citizen Army, not the Volunteers though, only the Citizen Army.

Sent this photo many moons ago its the old brigade from around Ballinasloe,alas  no names

New to this forum - in fact just discovered it doing a photo search for the photo you posted. I do not know if anyone will see this message.

This (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=291195.40) is the Ballinasloe [Galway] Company of the Irish Volunteers, 1914. The man seated fourth from left (and fourth from right) is my father's uncle John Thomas Greeves-O'Sullivan (1875-1924). He (and from what I understand, most of the other men in this photo) joined the British Army (Connaught Rangers) shortly after this picture was taken to fight in the Great War - heeding England's call to the Wild Geese to prove Ireland's worthiness for independence. John Thomas returned to Galway in 1919, many of those who went with him did not. He died in 1924, possibly by his own hand.

Thank you for posting this picture. It is a much higher quality (and size) than the one I currently have.
