I have recently found my f-i-law, his brothers' and mother's signatures on the UC/Declaration.  Their father did not sign.  He was in the Irish prison service - would this have prevented him signing?  He may have been working elsewhere as the last record we had of them was in Maryborough in 1902. 

We are now speculating - did the family move back north and leave him in the south?  As we all know finding one answer posing far more questions!

Thanks for that RJ.
Now, another question - anyone know where Augharooskey is?
Typical genealogy - every question  answered leads to another 1/2 doz questions.

Are you sure about the spelling?  What County do you think it's in?  I have looked at PRONI Geographical index which list all the townlands in each county, but it's not there.  Lots of nearlys though.  Rosemary

Hi Rosemary
spelling is as entered on the document.    My friend in PA sent this, don't know why she didn't reply on here, far as I know she is a member. 
Augher - small village in County Tyrone.
or
Augher is a busy community in the Clogher Valley.
Rooskey (Ruscaigh in Irish) village on the R. Shannon.
I did a google myself, found nothing.
But thanks for your trouble.
Pete

Thank you all, yes, Rootschat notified me.
Recently making more discoveries re my grandparents via The 1901 Belfast Census, which leads me to Bombay St and Tyrone, the family have been hopping back and forward over the Irish Sea far more than I had realised.   So perhaps Agharooskey will pop up again in the near future.
Thanks again
Pete
