Subject: Michael McHugh / Eva O’Flaherty

What a wonderful resource your site is James, and many thanks for sharing it

Two historical figures intrigue me, both from north Galway.

Eva O’Flaherty – apparently a great friend of Sean MacDermott, Dr Lynn,

Maire Comerford, Anita MacMahon & Darrell Figgis et al, who was in

Cumann na mBan in 1914 with Louise Gavan Duffy … I know too that

she was very involved in the prisoner’s fund (I don’t have the exact name of

the organisation but I think it was the one that Kathleen Clarke ran) – have

you ever come acrcoss her – Eva O’Flaherty – in your research ?

Michael J McHugh (possibly used the Irish version of his name) – T. Gay

was his commanding officer, he was also born in north Galway and from what

we know was very involved in printing and in Collins’ Intelligence network – have you ever

come across him either in your research ?

With many thanks for the moment,

MJ Murphy. .

To whom it may concern,

I’m sorry to trouble you, but was wondering whether the organisation would be able to assist me. My Great-grandmother’s (Catherine Flynn) grandfather (William Flynn) was allegedly an Irish Volunteer, Cork brigade and signed up 1914. I was just wondering whether there were any more details available such as his birthdate, parents names and where in Cork he was from?

I would be much obliged if you could please give this some consideration and get back to me with any pertinent information.

Thank you for taking the time to read my email and I look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully,

Greetings from Tipperary,
I was at, and enjoyed, your wonderful display of items in Hayes Hotel, Thurles, last weekend.

I was speaking with one of you fine men while you were putting away the displays, as a few items had caught my attention. He asked that I email this email address with my questions, so here goes.

I saw on one of the tables a reference to the only Cumann na mBan woman to be killed by the Tans. I think the story was, they called for her brothers, they were not there, so they shot her instead. May I ask, what was the name of this lady, do you have any details on her story by any chance?

Also there was another leaflet or news item which referred to two pics of two boys, who were killed, was it in crossfire? I simply cannot recall any details, only that it was a document showing two pics, or two boys, who got killed. Any ideas what this was that I saw? What is the story here I wonder?

Well I really hope you can help me.
Thanks again for bringing your display to Thurles.
All the very best
Con McGrath

Hello,

I am wondering if you have contact details for someone within the “Third Tipperary Brigade Old IRA Commemoration Committee”.

I am trying to research my great grandfather Patrick Cleary. We believe he was involved in the Independence movement but in what capacity we do not know.

From his obituary in 1974:
“led the volunteer branch in Clerihan and was responsible for the training of several hundred men. His residence in Ardgeeha was subjected to a number of raids by Black and Tan forces and his house had been the venue for sittings of the Republican courts”

We do not know anything about what he did and would love to get answers to our questions.

Thank you,

Martin Phelan

Enclosed Pic of Christy Mackey, known in Rush Co Dublin as Kit. He was a member of old IRA North Dublin. His years 1899 to 1979. He remained single and lived with his brothers Paddy and Jim and sister Mary Jo who was Postmistress there for many years. They run a butchery in rush village but Kit or Christy had a greenhouse at the back of their house in the Mall. I did temporary relief at the post office in about 1971 and remained a visitor at Mackey’s for several years.
Mary Jo told me that Christy was on the run for a good while. I guess until things got resolved. During my time visiting Christy used have an outside concrete seat which he painted green, white and orange. i never thought to take a photo of it. This pic used hang over his bed. For a time one could get their portrait taken and later get a coloured one. before my last time, I asked Mary Jo if I could get a copy of it because I held a grea affection for him. John Buckley was reared at the Mall and got the dwelling house. I am telling you this in case this pic is not good enough. I found John Buckley to be very agreeable.
Yours sincerely, Ellen Hanna.

I’d love to know if anyone has any information or photos relating to Sean/Jack O’Leary, of the 1st Battalion in Tipperary. He was killed by Auxiliaries on March 27 1921, dying in a hospital in Nenagh. He had worked in a bank in Nenagh before going on the run but was originally from Killarney, and is mentioned in a couple of witness statements:

Irish Volunteers Stories

Message Body:
To whom it may concern,

I am an Irish playwright. I am writing a play in commemoration of the 1916 rising centenary and looking for some genuine, personal stories regarding IV’s involved either in Dublin or Galway. I have certain information on a relative of mine, however not enough to construct a truthful/sufficiently fictionalised piece.

I will be connecting the story with Irish WWI British soldiers. If you could point me in the direction of some personal war stories, to do with the somewhat unknown men on the ground, I would be much obliged. The stranger the stories and more intricate the familial relationships the better.

I realise I’m being rather vague, but I hope you see what I’m after. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Subject: Thomas Canty (or Casty)

Message Body:
Hello,

I’m looking for any information you might have on a volunteer listed as Thomas Canty or Casty. It’s my belief that this is in fact my great grandfather Thomas Heeley.

What do I know?: I know that he was garrisoned at Marrowbone Lane Distillery and that there is also very little information relating to him. I have read through the records submitted by some of the combatants at Marrowbone Land Distillery and the South Dublin Union to the Bureau of Irish Military History and there is no mention of him either. There is also no mention of him being at Frongoch or even on the Dublin Census of 1911 although there is a Canty family living at 28.1 Marrowbone Lane at the time of the Rising. The only Thomas Cantys I can find on the 1911 census are living in Kerry or Cork. It would strike me as being strange for a Kerry/Cork volunteer to come to Dublin to partake in the rising, but be stationed at an outpost. It is however possible that one of these country Cantys might have been related to the said Canty family on Marrowbone Lane at the time, but I find it unlikely. There also seems to be considerable doubt over the correct surname for this volunteer.

Why?: It’s my belief that this Thomas Canty or Casty was in fact my great grandfather Thomas Heeley who lived at 99.1 Cork Street at the time, which is/was only a 5 minute walk from the voluteer garrison. His Father and step brothers and sister were English born and his Irish born brother (James) was a chauffeur for British generals on the Somme at the time of the Rising. I believe that he used a variation or pseudonym of his Irish born mother’s surname (Cantwell) in order to protect the family name Heeley. I also think he got away before the official surrender of the volunteers of Marrowbone Lane as it has been recorded that Con Colbert stated that anyone not in uniform should try and escape. Eventually Ceantt on hearing this stopped it, but some of the combatants had already got away.

Eventually Ceantt on hearing this stopped it, but some of the combatants had already got away.

I’d also like to note that Thomas and his brother James were Irish-born as was there mother and felt closer to her than their English-born father. There was a massive divide in the family due to father (Robert), the step-brothers and sister being English. The step-brothers and sisters actually moved back to England at some stage between the 1901 and 1911 censuses.

Any insight or info you can give me on this Thomas Canty or Casty would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Colin.

He had written in Irish to my father in Jan. ’23 and described the law-lesness in Ballyconnell.This incident was widely reported in Nat. Newspapers and provincial. The Minister made several statements in the Dáil about the incident;and it was debated on the 8th.+9th. of Feb.by TD’s. It was sent from Belfast to the ‘Daily Express’ paper in London. Seán was only 23 years.He and my father were both Irish teachers both having attended Coláiste Chonnacht, Tourmakeady. My father in 1908 and Seán in c. 1918 (2 terms).This incident was described as ‘The Tragedies of Ballyconnell’.
