Wow this is amazing Mathew Brennan is my great grandfather. I remember my grandad telling me about him being arrested in a turnip field. He married a Quinn from the Ferns area.

I have chased up with my great aunt and I was wrong about the Frongoch execution . The brother was executed in Cork Jail we think his name was Jack (O) Mahoney. My great grandad Michael Mahoney or O'Mahoney was interred at Frongoch. My grandmother had a photo of him there which was then lost. We think Michael was born approx 1884 and his family owned a large house on the rd into Bantry. He was involved in a court case with a british army officer regarding defamation. Any info would be gratefully received

Many years ago while travelling in Wales I saw a signpost for Frongoch and immediately remembered it as my late father often mentioned it when I was very young as he had been there.
I stopped and went down to the spot where I found nothing but a small shop in which the owner said this was a prison camp once a upon a time allright.
Sometime later I picked up a book called 'Frongoch' and I'm sure its in the house still.Robus I live in the west of Ireland and I'd be greatful if you or any one else would know of any website where I could check out names etc.

johnny_doyle

went to Frongoch last year as part of a trip organised by the 1916-21 Club.

There isn't a lot to see now but the locals are very interested in the subject and happy to talk about what they know. 2 authors about Frongoch were on hand - Lyn Ebenezer and Sean O'Mahoney - and a number of the 16 Lives books were donated to the school. A couple of young Welsh primary school kids were wearing Michael Collins badges and were very knowledgeable about who he was which was good to see.

With a typo in my list

johnny_doyle

it's the T Parker 2nd Leinsters that I'm interested in. I saw him in the 1916 Rebellion Handbook and think that Hollaf Row is Holles Row. There's a Parker family there in the 1911 census. Can't find a BA service record or anything for him and interested to see if there was anything in any of the resources you have.

Miley Wilde is supposed to be a BA soldier who joined with the Volunteers in Enniscorthy but so far drawing a blank on him too.

Interesting to see the G Parker from 10 Rutland Square (Fowler Hall) in the list. A very Unionist address ie Orange Order and base for the Loyal Dublin Volunteers (a UVF spin off). An arms cache was found there in the 1930's from pre-1916. My Gt Gt Grandmother gave it as her address on her marriage record (ironically her surname was Carson).

Hello Robus,

I wonder if you could help me with any information you may have about my grandfather William Mulryan, of Kiltulla (also called Kiltullagh) near Oranmore, Galway.

I have a record of him being transferred to Stafford Detention Barracks (Stafford Goal) on the 13th of May 1916. He was taken from Richmond Barracks on the 12th.

I also have another couple of references;-

William Mulryan was a medal winner at Weight Throwing and Hurling. He
gave a Hurling medal to Michael Giles when Michael emigrated to the
USA. (Apparently he played for Castlegar about 1910.)

William was mentioned by Irish Patriot, Mr. Frank Hardiman, in a
statement written just before he died at age 77. He stated that
William Mulryan was a prisoner (with Michael Collins) in the 3rd Hut,
North Camp, of Frongoch Internment Camp, Wales in 1917. Referring to
Seán Hale**, Hardiman said, "...the late Wm Mulryan of Kiltulla,
Oranmore, another powerful man, with Michael Collins, tried their
skill with him in weight-throwing... What a pity those young Irishmen
should meet with such early and tragic ends." (Family sources suggest that William eventually died "due to injuries he sustained by being dragged along, tied to a truck by Black & Tans" although I cannot verify that).

I have not been able to find any other reference to him being in Frongoch or when he returned home, I would be very grateful if you could help in any way.
