Anyone able to add any more about these two Roscommon brothers, on either side of the divide  during the Easter Rising 1916

Lieutenant Gerald Aloysius NEILAN 10th Battalion from Mount Harold Terrace, Dublin. Aged 34. Son of John Neilan, of Ballygalda, Roscommon.Killed 24 April 1916 at the Mendicity Institution on Usher Island. Buried at Glasnevin Cemetery. Shot by a sniper on Ushers Quay. 

His younger brother Anthony NEILAN was taking part in the rising with the Volunteers and was deported to Knutsford Detention Barracks.

Mary

Thanks, that was very useful.

I had tried and failed to get them in1911 census in Roscommon. But trying Mary, the mpther in it now,  I found her living at Mount Harold Terrace Dublin, and that is where Gerald Neilan had as his address on army information. The father was dead by 1911

So yes it would appear that Valentine was a brother

You could order marriage record from www.groireland.ie

Evalen Anna Neilan birth: 20th Feb 1880 Baptised: 27 Feb 1880 Kilteevan Roscommon

More likely a form/mis-spelling of Evaleen/Evelyn.
