Wow that's news to me but when I showed the death cert  to my wife ( Michael s granddaughter ) she said oh yeah I knew that , her father was named Joseph after his late uncle. I will have to talk to him about it he is 81 now but the memory's still good . As to who the medals belong to you could be right but I will ask . Thanks for the interest.

Daniel REARDON school teacher also made a pension application from 13 Anglesea Road
Annie REARDON nee Keating also made a pension application(strangely neither mentions their spouses name in their applications)

Daniels death is not recorded on his file but he died 1940 age 44 at 4 Fortfield Terrace

his will also gives same address but also says formerly of 13 Anglesea Road

Hi CSM or anyone else

As my geography of Dublin is not very good does anyone know if there is a Dublin map showing what area and streets were covered by the different battalions, Companies and divisions of the old IRA. I have names of my family and their addresses, but have no idea what divisions etc to research. I do believe that some of my family were involved as I believe my grandmother Miss E Best was in the Cumman Na Mban and it seems reasonable that if she was a member, then other members of her family would also be members.

thanks again daithi Joseph was born 1905 that would mean he was only 17 when he died
 ( poor kid ).                                                                                  Robbie

Have a look at the Military Archives site
http://www.militaryarchives.ie/collections/online-collections/military-service-pensions-collection
It's an on going project so still lots of records not online yet but you can try out their names.
I didn't see a map there but you don't need their company etc to search.
