Hi Capel Street Man

I have Been completing further research and found out that Marie Best's grand aunt's family were living in 15 Moore Street at the time of the Easter Uprising. They had a shop called O'Gormans. I found records of an insurance claim made by the family after the uprising, as their shop was looted during the Easter rising and they claimed for loads of Cigarettes and tobacco that was stolen.

Who would have thought that this family would end up being joined by marriage to your family and families from each side of the 1916 conflict.

So as my grandmother and her siblings where born in this same address they must have all been living together when my grandmother was born.

I don't know if this information is useful to you

Hello Johanna,

Great research and information, you just never know what you are going to come across

I would be interested to see the insurance claim if that is possible

Not sure if this is the right place as it's not about e company .
My wife's grandfather Michael o 'reardon left behind 3 medals which I believe are a war of Independence service medal, a 1971 jubilee and a 1959 Fianna jubilee ( no bars ) and the only hint of anything else was a newspaper cutting
On the death of Sean harling  on which he had written " brigadier of my battalion " so I know this means 2nd Dublin battalion. There is no pension application or mention of him anywhere that I can find.He would have been quite young as he was born in 1904 in Sackville Ave. My question is if he received the service medal surely it is recorded somewhere , wouldn't he have to apply or have someone vouch for him ??  Any help appreciated.

Thanks dathai. I had come across that one but I'm pretty sure it's a different Michael ,my guy was born in Sackville Ave and married in Sackville Ave so I don't think he ventured as far as inchicore. He did change the spelling at some stage , probably more Irish with an io and a fada on the i  ,his children are o'Riordan.               Robbie
