I got careless and lost all the information about my grand uncle Dan, apart from his birth registration and Census 1911 entry.

His siblings were (cast in order of appearance) Elizabeth, Patrick, John & Bernard.
Dan apparently did something naughty whilst playing games with the B&Ts. He ran south of the border, never to return. He walked with a severe limp, perhaps due to their rough play.
Some other names associated with him were a Sean, André and Ainé. I believe that he lived in North Dublin (a detached bungalow, perhaps somewhere like Beaumont) and worked as a storeman for a seed & grain business. At least one of his sons once worked at the Guinness brewery, and another disappeared in South Africa.
Dan may be difficult to trace if he gave false information to avoid being recognised.
If any of Dan’s descendants see this, please do get in touch by PM to help me fill the gaps and to get to know you.
