Thanks for the reply and looking it up.

Thomas Phelan had a son Patrick J Phelan who was in Scotland Yard and was the personal body guard to Eamonn De Valera whenever he was in Great Britain.

I have a number of newspaper cuttings about him and De valera but I presume I could not post them here due to copyright issues.

Thomas Phelans marriage cert shows him as born in Co. Waterford with a father Patrick Phelan, a farmer.

I came across this while searching for information on a William Henry, and wondered if it was the same person mentioned in an article from NEW york about marriages in Ireland here:
