Thanks Barry,
I did, I'd love to know exactly where they worked, as it says they were Bakers, but that is for another day, I am  back as far as their parents marriage, I have the cert for 1892, I am doing my Maternal side also, and every time I get a lead from either side I run with it, but so far The Shannons seem to be in the lead,
thanks again,
Sue

Hi
I looked up the site, and found my Grt Uncle, I would love to know what he did then, but I doubt I will ever k,now, considering, nobody really knew about him being involved in the fight,
Thanks
Sue

Hi Jytefas

Just noticed this thread.  There is a pretty comprehensive-looking list of internees in the book "Frongogh: University of Revolution" by Sean O'Mahony, published in 1987.  I don't know if the list is available online, however. 


Dermo
O'Brien, Keogh, Byrne, Cuffe, Kelly, White, Burke, Blosset, Evans, Hetherington, Hosey, Williams, Wright, Comerford, Carey, McKeon, Litton, O'Reilly, O'Toole, Nugent, Traynor, Broughall.

According to my grandmother her father Michael o'Mahoney from Bantry was a prisoner in Frongoch. Family legend is that his brother - Patraick was involved in the Dripsey Ambush and was executed in Cork jail. Any help in getting more info on Michael would be gratefully appreciated
