Thanks Shane, Sorry it has taken me so long to reply.  It is due to a lovely lady, Elizabeth in the parish office that I was able to get my great great grandparents marriage dates, luckily I already had Edward and Marys marriage cert myself so she could view register and find the mothers names, Sadly although all Edwards brothers and sisters are recorded in the register, Edwards is not. .................... I had hoped I could find out more about the generation before him.  Thanks for replying

Kildare / Nolan/Murphy Kildare (Plunketstown, Castledermot)
« on: Tuesday 18 October 11 15:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi my Nolan's are from Plunketstown in Castledermot, Co. Kildare. 

My great grandfather Edward Nolans born approx 1853. (Can't find his birth though). His parents were Patrick Nolan & Anne Murphy married 1843 in Castledermot.  Has anyone any information on these Nolan/Murphy marriage?

My great grand mother was also a Nolan, Mary Nolan she married the above Edward Nolan in 1879.  Her parents were Patrick Nowlan/Nolan and Catherine?  (presumed Nolan??????)  married in 1858 all from Plunketstown, all small farmers.

Can anyone help, would really appreciate it.
Thanks

In 1916 he was in Marrowbone Lane under Capt. Seumas Murphy.  On the reformation of the IRA in 1917, he joined up again with his old Co, C, 4th Battalion, Dublin Brigade,  under Capt John Joyce.

He also mentions a Quarter Master Merriman, he state he remained in the Co up to the Truce under Capt. Long.

 And I'm sure not unsual for a lot of the men he states, 'as a result o my activities and subsequent imprisonment I lost my employment.'

I'll have to check grand-dads letter but I'm sure he said John Joyce was his captain from 1917.

Sorry it took me so long to reply Gary.  Thank you for the link, I had been in contact with Pete before as regards te special branch records which we both had an interest in.  My grand-dads brother was named in them.
I hadn't read that witness statement though so was delighted to do so.  I have been in military archives and read a few of the men's statements, Seamus Murphy is one that stuck out in my mind, and if my memory serves me correctly John Joyce was the other, fascinating reading.

Thanks for putting up the link.

Rory, just read your reply now, wow. Thank you so much for that.  Grand-dad was a staunch anti-treaty man and I have found his name and piece in the autograph books in Kilmainham gaol in august and he was then transfered to Gormanston Camp until the peace.  It is quite possible he was in this involved in the incident you found. Thank you it gives me another avenue to go down and research.  I will have to try and find a professional that will verify the handwriting in the autograph books with his handwriting. 
Interesting to see he was in Wales as grand-dads brother  Thomas Nolan was there too but firstly he was sent to Knutsford. 
Thanks Again Rory

This is a great thread, I have learned so much, explains why my grand-daa was heard of, he was anti-treaty, I wonder how many of their applications got lost in the post?

Gary, can't believe I stumbled accross someone who had someone in C Coy the 4th Batt.  This is the one John Nolan, my grand-dad was in and later the 26 Battalion (during the emergency).  Have you any info on the men in C COy, 4th Batt, I'd be really appreciative if you could tell me anything?
Regards

Thank You Rory for your reply.  Do you have any idea what period Sean Dowling was commandante and Oscar Tryanor was Brigader, I am at a loss as to the date of the certificate?

I wrote to Galway and the dept of defence and have been to military archives.  They said he never applied for his medals or pension?  And it was the military archives that helped me find him in Gormanstown Camp.  Apparently non of this is enough to prove he was there!!!!!!!  I found his signature in the autograph books in Kilmainham Gaol also. It seems that if you wern't bothered seeking a pension well you weren't on record to get medals either.  This is so sad for me as he died with the 1922 document folded up in his wallet so it obviously meant a lot to him.

Thanks again.
