I've recently purchased a book...1916 Rebellion Handbook.

For anyone researching their Irish ancestors/relatives this is a must have!

There are pages and pages of names and addresses of people who were taken prisoner, stating where they were held.
Also names the ones that were executed.


Haven't found any of my Irish ancestors that were executed but looks like a brother of my grandfather was imprisoned as the address was the same as Granpops when he was married in Dublin 1913!

I purchased the book on Ebay and there are still some more for sale.

.

The book also lists the names and addresses of identified persons interred in Glasnevin Cemetry and who died as a result of bullet or gunshot wounds arising out of the rebellion. Also includes those that were trampled to death by crowds in the streets.

Lots of info about Royal Irish Constabulary and Dublin Metropolitan Police Force, Names those that were wounded and those that died.



Army ....Killed or died of wounds and those that were just wounded.

thank you teresa for the info i have orderd one it may close a few gaps i have thanks. michael2

Wow, thanks Teresa sounds absolutely fascinating.

There is a story in my family that my Ggran was locked in a brewery for 3 days during the rebellion. Would be great to find out if it was actually true .....

If anyone knows of a relative that was arrested or killed in the 1916 Easter Uprising I will have a look for the name and address if you wish.

I know it's a bit of a touchy subject still, with many people, but it is all in the past now.

I often wonder it this was the reason why my Mum's birth wasn't registered in Dublin in June 1916 as there was still so much going on then. At least my grandparents managed to get her Baptised and that is the only proof Mum ever had as her existance!

I paid £16 for the paper back version on ebay.

.

i have orderd a copy from ebay cost incl p&p £14 from america..

The F. Pollard in the book WAS my Grandfather's brother!

Also found him here....http://www.interment.net/ireland/index.htm

Buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.....Pollard, Lieut. Francis Domino, d. 2 May 1970, s/o Joseph & Margaret ( Four Courts Garrison 1916)

Then, some kind person on http://www.dublin.ie/forums looked up his Death Notice for me.

POLLARD (Dublin) - May 2, 1970, at his residence, 14 Galtymore Pk., Drimnagh,

late Lt. C. Coy., First Batt., Dublin Brigade, Old I.R.A., member of Four Courts Garrison, 1916; deeply regretted by his loving wife, brothers, relatives and friends. R.I.P.

Took me some time to go through all the lists of names, but found none with the surname of Mairs.

Tracie

The book is entitled "1916 Rebellion Handbook"

It has 1916 in large RED figures on the cover with 'Rebellion Handbook' written underneath in white....just so you can recognise it.

Thanks Teresa
