Bernard Ryan. executed 1921

[dc51]

My Grandmother Mary Kennedy was married from 4 Royal Canal Terrace in 1922 so perhaps she knew Bertie and family.
upon searching for her mother also Mary Kennedy on the 1939 Register of Electors i found what i believe to be her at 4 Phibsborough Road cant find any Royal Canal Terrace 1939.
Similarly i found Sarah Ryan at 8 Phibsborough Road 1939 listed with others same address
Patrick and Agnes Kelly and Patrick Sullivan.

That's right for Sarah. according to my mother she didn't marry but took in orphaned or homeless children. One of them had the name Sullivan. Just like her mother??
Were any of your grandmothers family involved in the war 1920 if so they would indeed have known Bertie. My grandmother was grew up in 188 Phibsborough rd. It was a busy house at that time.

As far as i know the Kennedy clan were not involved them being builders supposedly being responsible for a lot of the cinemas in Dublin whereas my grandfather Whelan who married Mary Kennedy to quote my fathers sister had a terrible abhorrance towards the I R A.
Recently on here i got the devastating news from a fellow rootschatter that his family line that i had spent years researching was wrong i think he used someone else's birth cert on his first marriage and that man never left Wexford so he could'nt be my grandfather.
Not being able to trace his family i dont know if he had brothers involved or such like but it may have had something to do with the 1913 lockout as he was a tram driver and would have gone through hard times during this period.

In 1868 O'Donovan Rossa wrote A Lament for Edward Duffy,to me it is one of the most poignant poems i have ever read as i could actually visualise what he was saying because of the way he wrote it.
I would like to dedicate it to all people like Bernard (Bertie) Ryan and all who died in the cause of Irish Freedom.
Unfortunately i am unable to perform the link and was hopeing some kind soul would do it for me.
found by googling'' NGA.ie Graves Fenians Edward Duffy.''

thank you
Dathai.

Hi, I just came across this site now. My grandparents were Agnes and Patrick Kelly, and Paddy Sullivan was my great uncle. My nan and Uncle Paddy were reared by Sarah Ryan. They lived in 8 Royal Canal Terrace and my mother and her sister were born there. Aunt Sarah as she was affectionately known was Godmother to my mother.
