Hi,
I've just posted a question about my great granddad & thought I'd post again about my great uncle who we also know nothing about.
He was, according to my mum; a Captain in the Irish Army. I found an article from 09/09/2001 in the Irish Times archives online. It said that "he was a last of the first who enlisted in 1922 & had died recently".
We know he lived in a big house in Clontarf & had at least one daughter, Anna. Not a lot really is it?
Anyway, I found the Arco site & on there is a mention of a Col Pat Jordan; who was a regional rep for the Curragh. I've e-mailed all the contacts on there to see if this is my relative but haven't had a reply so far.
Cathal Brugha will do a search for me but only once I provide written permission from his next of kin. Unfortunately as we have no idea if Anna is still alive & if so where she might live we can't get permission right now. I'll have a lot of digging to do before I get any further. I haven't found any reference to his death in the Glasnevin website & Google gives me nothing at all.
Is there any chance that someone out there may have some memories of him & if so will you please get in touch? I'd love to be able to tell mum more about her uncle.
