Did he die "in action" perhaps away from home Is his the only name on the headstone?
If he died in Cork there is a chance he wasn't registered, there was Martial law in Cork from Dec 1920 until July 1921. People didn't make unnecessary trips or co-operate with authority if possible.Where is he buried?Thanks Sinann this sounds plausable given the circumstances at the time. Yes he is buried in Republican Plot in Holy Rosary Cemetery Midleton Co Cork as posted by LH
HiLook at Holy Rosary Cemetery, Photos 59 and 84. See:-https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/cork/photos/tombstones/1midleton/midleton1.htmRegards
This is why I asked where he was buriedThanks again Sinann
