Dublin / Michael Behan information
« on: Tuesday 01 May 12 11:01 BST (UK) »
Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this one.
My grandfathers brother Micheal, born october 1897, died april 1923.
I have his burial record for glasnevin cemetery, and he was apparently a soldier in the civil war.
The records are a bit confusing as listed on his birth record in 1897 is his mother, with the married name of behan, but his mother and father did not seem to marry until 1902, so I am not sure why she uses her married name.
has anyone come across something similar before?
also how would I go about finding more information about him being in service. I had thought of the freemans journal for death information but it will be a while before I can get in to the library.
Any ideas appreciated.
