Thanks Gensearcher, the best part about it is he mentions my Great Uncle in the statement (Igoe Gang) also it was another link to my Great Uncle being in the Squad, I have now confirmed it with his Army & Pension records.

Sorry it took me so long to reply Gary.  Thank you for the link, I had been in contact with Pete before as regards te special branch records which we both had an interest in.  My grand-dads brother was named in them.
I hadn't read that witness statement though so was delighted to do so.  I have been in military archives and read a few of the men's statements, Seamus Murphy is one that stuck out in my mind, and if my memory serves me correctly John Joyce was the other, fascinating reading.

Thanks for putting up the link.

Hi Mrswomans, JV Joyce was the captain of C Coy 4th Batt ! I think there was a later Captain I will have to check & get back to you on that !

I'll have to check grand-dads letter but I'm sure he said John Joyce was his captain from 1917.

In 1916 he was in Marrowbone Lane under Capt. Seumas Murphy.  On the reformation of the IRA in 1917, he joined up again with his old Co, C, 4th Battalion, Dublin Brigade,  under Capt John Joyce.

He also mentions a Quarter Master Merriman, he state he remained in the Co up to the Truce under Capt. Long.

 And I'm sure not unsual for a lot of the men he states, 'as a result o my activities and subsequent imprisonment I lost my employment.'

Our family have a number of Rodericks and Rory's originating from an early period of worship of Rory O'Connor.

Hi Magell14,

Would Roderick have been the name of Charles' son, and would his wife be called Dora.
If so I may have some information.


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.
