Hi there
I am researching my family history during the 1916 rising my great grandfather Christopher jordan and his son James, where shot at there home at 5 grants row off lr mount street , on the 29th April 1916 the day of the surrender, they were both citizens army, that not the problem I have all there information, but on the same day I had another relative also shot dead close to sir Patrick Dunn,s hospital , I have traced the women that where shot dead on 29th April , Bridget Barry, Mary Anne Cole ,Mary Anne Corrigan, Elizabeth Moran, Mary Morris, Georgina Murphy, Margaret Naylor, Mary timmons, Kate Walsh , here my problem one of these women are Christopher jordan relation,  but these women may have be married at the time of there death , and some of there ages may have been guessed , I've found all death certs 1916 , all bar , one  Kate Walsh, I did find one Kate Walsh but it for the 22nd may 1916, so I am trying to connect one of these women to my family  the Jordan's, these women's births or census may hold different names  if married,
All help welcomed

Any help or information

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

Thanks for your time and help Annie , I will track him down one thing about the past there's always a paper trail

Katherine, Margaret and Mary wouldn't be old enough to have a married daughter so that rules them out.
Pushing things with Agnes and Ellen as well. Think this idea was a non runner.
I take it that this is James and Mary in 1901

and this is likely to be Katherine and Margaret in 1911

Had both parents died by 1911, if Mary was alive she may have recorded how many children she had and how many were living.

Yes both census are correct sinann have them but only found marriage for katherine Jordan she married a thomas ballance Feb 4th 1914 that's seems correct because her father worked as a marble works.so Agnes and Ellen may or may not married.
So it look like I am back to the drawing board. Thanks for your efforts.

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
