Dear Johnny

I list him in the book, but have no other information other than he was a member of the garrison

Hello dublinbook 1916
There is a John Keely listed, Killid in Phisborough delivering a dispatch.
Could the name be wrong, as there was a Sean (Jack) Healy fatally injured on Easter monday 1916 at Doyles Corner While attempting to deliver a dispatch. He was 14 years old, the youngest volunteer to die that week.
There's a memorial stone set into the pavement in his honor at the south west corner.

in the 1916 Rebellion Handbook, there's John Healy in the list of "Rebels Killed While Fighting" but it doesn't state age.

In the list of those interred at Glasnevin, there is then a J Healy (14 1/2) of 188 Phibsborough Road.

There was a Healy and a Keely killed during Easter Week:

Healy John, fatally wounded in the Phibsborough area on the 25th of April 1916, he died two days later on the 27th in the Mather Hospital. He was 15 years old and had been a member of Na Fianna for 3 years. He was a plumbers apprentice and was from 188 Phibsborough Road Dublin. He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.

Keely John, Killed in Action on the 26th of April 1916 at the General Post Office, educated by the Christian Brothers’ and taught Irish in Dun Laoghaire and he assisted Francis Macken with an Irish class in Saint Enda’s Rathfarnham. He was originally from Rockbrook, Ballyboden, Dublin, lived in Kingstown (Dun Laoghaire) and left a widow. John Keely was fatally wounded when, with a group of Volunteers from Rathfarnham, who had arrived late at the GPO, the Volunteers ware attempting to enter the GPO through one of the ground floor windows when they were spotted by a party of Lancers who charged the Volunteers. In the ensuing battle three of the Lancers were killed. John Keely was taken to Jervis Street Hospital where he died early the next day. He is buried in Dean’s Grange Cemetery.

Hi, Did you mean Dan Brophy? If so, Dan Brophy was my grandfather :)

Was this Colonel Dan Brophy per chance some of whose family emigrated to the US ?

I am trying to contact relatives of Doyles from Lusk re 1916 celebration in Kenure Cemetery. Any chance that "Skerries" is still around?
