Irish Civil records are not available online but you can search the index to these at the familysearch Irish Civil Index at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347

If you find a promising match you can order certs from the GRO (http://www.groireland.ie/apply_for_a_cert.htm) using the index details from the above - they require name, record type (e.g. birth) year/quarter, registration district, volume & page

Hi there
I'm sure that the thomas traynor that you refer to is the one that has a statue of him in tullow itself and was a soldier in the struggle for irish freedom.
I'm sorry but i cannot find an answer to your question. But I have a suggestion. Usually the local library would hold more detailed info on local heroes etc. Maybe you could start by giving tullow library a shout;

Thanks to you both.

I found these links and info - and also old newspaper articles about what happened at the time - it is such an amazing (and sad) story) - the papers talk about his family but ay his mother 'Mrs Traynor' which is not very helpful!!

He was execcuted by hanging on 25 April 1921....and buried in the groundsof mount joy prison.  He was (his body) eventually released in 2001 and was given a state funeral.

I am trying to find a link to my Trainor family (also from Ireland)....my dad remembers as a child being told that a relative was 'murdered' by hanging in Mountjoy prison.....when he told me this I started to search and found Thomas.

I am now on a mission to find the family connection!

Thanks, Nicola
