[Diarmuidgannon1916]

Hi
Looking for any information regarding my great grandfather Christopher jordan born Dublin 6 Jan 1870, lived at 5 grants row lower mount street Dublin , he was shot during the 1916 rising in Dublin on the 29th April 1916,while home on holidays, he worked in dornoch Scotland his employer was Walter cowen contractors , Christopher was a plumber and gas fitter, for that company. He work for Walter cowen from 1915 till his death, Christopher was to head back to dornoch after the Easter break in 1916, but died so never made it ,when he was killed he left a wife and six children.so any information on Christopher or Walter cowen contractors regarding Christopher would be brilliant or his sailing back and forward to Scotland,not to sure if he sailed on boat from Dublin or Belfast

It's possible Walter Cowan, Contractor was based elsewhere although had 'contract' work in Dornoch ie. if he didn't live/work from there he wouldn't be on the VRs there?

Yes it's possible that Walter Cowan contractors came from elsewhere in Scotland my great grandfather Christopher came from Dublin working in a small Scottish village at the time , Annie

There are numerous Walter Cowans (surprisingly)! but all miles away from Dornoch at the time & you have to view the VRs to find out their occs. as they're not listed on the indexes

How sure are you it was Dornoch (Sutherland) & not Dornock (Dumfries)?
