Hi Anthony, Here are the only details I have - taken from his headstone ... RORY O'MOORE. This wasn't apparently his birth name. He took the name of a well known Irish folk hero!. His date of death on the (beautiful) celtic cross over the grave is given as 14th October 1922. There is also mention on the cross that he was Vice-Commandant of the 3rd Dublin Brigade. Look forward to hearing from you. Anne. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony J.

No further details. It is unlikely that there is a military record as these men were insurgents and consequently a secret army. I am interested in the name because all of my maternal ancestors were prominent members of the IRA during the same time and one of my lines of interest is O'Moore - my O'Moores lived in the Marino / Clontarf area of Dublin. If it is any help I will contact the National Graves Association and see if there is any more detail available on your Rory. You don't say where he is buried? Regards Anthony
