[dathai]

a notorius i r a man then free state sorry dont want to mention name in case of living relatives was stationed there on that date he later became an embarrassment to the state and they tried to get him to go to australia he was a bit of a chronic alcoholic so he may have been there for that reason drying out?

I have just come across this discussion and I realise it was six years ago but I'd like to correct some errors.

Marlborough Hall is still there on Mobhi Road, Glasnevin. It is not where Met Eireann is located. It is now the Whitehall College of Further Education. Before that it was where the Dept of Defence finance branch was, called Coláiste Chaoimhín.
Here's a picture of the building: http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000316883 and here is some more information: https://whitehallcollege.com/from-marlborough-hall-to-whitehall. Two of the buildings on the site are now part of Scoil Móbhí.

I also found my grandfather there in the 1922 Military Census.

Thank you so much for highlighting the Army census. It's helped us solve a long standing mystery about my grandfather Denis Byrne (ICA at St.Stephens Green, Littles public house and Jacobs in 1916). He records no serviceable activity after 1916 in his pension records yet we have a photo of him in what we now know to be the National Army uniform, so thank you. We do have some family stories of Denis and his wife Mary Stapleton during the WOI, but no documented evidence. Apart from the army census, are there any other National Army records available? Many thanks

to Tommobecket, the Jabcobs is Jabcob's Biscuit Factory and the 1926 rising

[tommobecket]

sorry rathmore, I'm not sure what you mean?

[Sinann]

He means the reference you made to Jabocs in 1916, was Jabocs Biscuts Factory in 1916 Rising.
Which I'm guessing you already knew.
