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 .....

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.
