Old IRA Dublin Brigade

[PCm]

Hi there, I am just seeing this now. Yes you have the family.  Roderick is my father. I am still awaiting the docs from Renmore.

Hi Magell14,

My grandfather and Charlie were brothers. I’ve some anecdotes about Charlie passed on to me by his sister and also a few photographs.
Regarding your original enquiry about the Gresham I’ve no detail.
I believe that Charlie while working for CID was called as a witness at the inquest into the killing of
•   Edwin Hughes(19),
•   Brendan Holohan(18),
•   Joseph Rogers(16),
7 October 1922. The three Fianna boys were affixing republican posters on a wall at Clonliffe road when they were arrested by Charlie Dalton (whom Charles Murphy recognised).

If you PM your email address I’ll send you copies of the Photographs I have.
Regards,
PCm

That's an interesting photo, 2nd from left in the back row is my grandfather Seamus(JJ) Brennan and just in front of him to the left is his wife Veronica.

Photo of Annual Reunion (1952) of C Coy 1st batt (old IRA) possible taken at the Customs House Dublin. Might be of interest to someone?

I had a look at that . Its a very informative book and found my Grandfather listed, but also found a section on his brother in law, Thomas Allen who was wounded at the Four Courts and later died.

Hi, new to this - terrific reading & amazed at the information many of you have obtained.

I saw the reference to a John Joyce & was wondering if this is the same person as a Col John Joyce who, with an M Mc Dunphy, headed up the gathering of witness statements in the mid 50s.

My father was seconded to the Burea of Military History during this time & while researching his life, I was fascinated by how professional the training was for the taking of these statements. If anybody is looking for information on this, let me know & I'll see if I can help.

Needless to say, like many of the men he didn't make a statement himself! His name was John (Jack) Grace & he was in B Co. 2nd Battallion - imprisoned in Kilmainham. If anybody comes across the name, would really love to hear about it.
