That's certainly possible though probably not in the conventional sense. I'm inclined to think she was providing a 'safe house' for him. His home was in Ranelagh but I understand he had been on the run in the latter stages of the War of Independence. When the Civil War broke out he took the anti-Treaty side but, according to his military pension application, had taken no part after the initial weeks. Nonetheless, he was arrested late in 1922 and interned in the Curragh until mid-1923. I recently visited the Military Archives where I found he had been arrested in Camden Street along with another IRA man. The ' home' address on his arrest record was 2 Upper Camden Street instead of his actual home address in Ranelagh. This makes me think my granduncle wasn't as inactive as he subsequently claimed to be. Many thanks again for the information.
Kind regards
