Hello,
I have been researching my relatives from Roscommon, my Great Grandfather was Mordachy "Mardy" O'Connor (sometimes noted as Murtagh, Muireadach) he fought with the 2nd Batt. North Roscommon, Mantua Unit of the Irish Republican Army, he was the Adjuant of "A"Company (1919-1921) and the Company Intelligence Officer (1921-1923).
He is listed in the excellent book 'They Put the Flag A-Flying' as Martin Connor - I have since been in contact with the author who has provided superb documents which have provided me with all this information.
I was wondering whether anyone local or a local historian could provide any further information on him or his family? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank-you for your time.
