Carole W posted a link which includes mention of
Walter Scott shot by a bullet from gunboat
Helga-
"The Ryan family - tell me that their granddad Edward Ryan was with Walter when he was shot. The two boys -according to Edwards‟s wife- were playing near Clontarf when they shot from the gunboat Helga. Edward Ryan recovered only to have his other leg amputated years later due to osteomyelitis as a result of a kick he got when he was a child. Edward Ryan was 16 when he was shot with Walter. The Ryan family lived in North Lotts near Irvine Street and had two brothers who fought in World War 1. Buried in Glasnevin cemetery."
Death certificate gives Walter Scott's age as 9 not 8 as in above link.
