beachcomber australia May the Fourth be with you too! How can you not know..... That on 8th July 2015 we will make our collection of Catholic parish register microfilms freely available online on a dedicated website. These records, which are considered the single most important source of information on Irish family history prior to the 1901 census, consist primarily of baptism and marriage records and date from the 1740s to the 1880s.

I saw a documentary on Dan Breen over the weekend on TV4. Breen was involved in this ambush and was badly wounded. His views on killing were stark. see youtu.be/ty_U6U8iiTg

The ambush was at Ashtown crossroads near the Halway House (then Kellys), but the whole area has been rebuilt. Even the crossroads is a big roundabout now.
DannyM8 said:
the Ambush was 19th December 1919. I would think this photo is dated very soon after that.

Martin Savage was killed during the ambush, here is a report of his funeral from the Irish Times 24th December 1919.
