Margnip2 - Thanks for sending me them pictures, i showed my granddad he was delighted, hope you got mine, if i get any more ill send them onto you.
Gary - Thanks. You are correct he did live in 9 back lane, cornmarket.
Corisande - Thanks for the idea i might start a new thread on Leo Duffy to see if i can get any more information.
Seanod - My granddad tells me that he did have a brother called Christopher and that their dad was a carpenter but they never lived in Rathmines and that Leo died at the age of 68 from cancer not natural causes which i thought he died off. He also tells me that he was in E Company, 2rd Battalion. I have a picture of him and two notes that he wrote in the autograph book that's in Kilmainham Gaol. Also my granddads brother (Leo also) brought in a picture to Kilmainham Gaol of a battalion (Not sure if its E Company, 2rd Battalion) but Leo is in it with a battalion of about 20 or so with there names on the bottom.
(Not sure if John Wilson is in the picture)
The man (Michael) from Kilmainham Gaol who we brought this picture into scanned it and i will try and get him to e-mail me a copy. There might be a few names you can put to faces.
Phil.
