Hi,

I have a copy of his roll of honour 1916-23 paper (Kilmainham jail Restoration project, Historical committee) which stats that he was in E Company, 2rd Battalion. It also gives his DOB 21/05/1903, name and address which you know but not much more.
I will talk to my granddad and ask for as much information as possible i think he has forms that Leo filled in which stats his Battalion Sgt etc. Also i have requested a copy of the Battalion picture and when i get it i will forward it on

Phil.

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.

Hi margnip2,

I'm only getting use to this site. Can you see pictures on this site?  My great- grandfather was also in E Company 2nd Battalion and he was captured at the burning of the custom house. I was reading on another forum that he was executed this is not true, he died an old man at home by natural causes.  I'm doing a lot of this research for my granddad and also myself as i find it fascinating.

Thanks,
Roosterno1
