Anyone heard of a John Gannon, known as Jack Gannon was imprisoned in Mount joy around 1916.

He was my grandfather's brother, their house was searched quite a few time looking for him. At the time  he was in Mount Joy i have been told there was 2 executions took place in his time there, i will have to clarify the details with family members.

I also have a letter that was written and a poem he wrote i'll get this off my father and post it up.

No idea if your account is still active, but it popped up in a search when l was  trying to trace a Jack Gannon.  My father who grew up in Dublin in the 1920s had a photograph of Jack Gannon wearing a  suit with a double shoulder strap harness, with possibly a gun on his right hip. I will be able to explain more and can email a copy of the photo once you get in touch.   kind regards Ellie.
