Yes that's them. I've seen that before and mccaffrey were the in laws my great grandfather sent them to live with. Sorry don't know why I thought she was older. I believe she stayed in Ireland when my grandfather left for America via Scotland but ill have to check with my father on that.

James Seery died in Ireland in 1963. Buried in Milltown, Kerry.

Thanks Dathi. 

Afraid this Seery family is not connected to the James Seery that I'm seeking.

Hello there, So far I've drawn a blank on James Seery, I'd be interested to hear anything about your grandfather so that we can compare notes. Shiraz

This was my grandfather!! James Seery of 10 Beresford Place (No 188 on the Membership Roll of the Irish Citizen Army) was in the North Wall Section of the ICA and is listed on the City Hall Garrison, Roll of Honour. He was born in 1894 and died on the 8th October 1974. He fought in Dublin Castle, Dublin (Guardroom, Upper Castle Yard); he evaded arrest or capture following his participation in the 1916 Easter Rising, had no further service and was awarded the 1916 Rising Medal for his services.

I hope this helps

Hi Ocean One.
My father George Connolly was with James Seery in the ICA City Hall Garrison, under the command of my uncle Captain Sean Connolly. My father and your grandfather were part of the detachment of six men under the command of Tom Kain who captured the  guard room at the upper Castle yard. They went on the run together after the surrender and my father hid out at a Seery house. Not sure if it was in your grandfather's home or somewhere else.  My father later married Kathleen Seery...she was a daughter of Mary Anne Seery (nee Brady) who was related to Patrick Pearse's mother. I'm trying to find out what was your father's relationship to my Grandmother and also the Pearse connection. If you can throw any light on this situation I'd be grateful.
