Without even a name

    Wikipedia says 66 rebels were killed. This IT article from 2015 says "new research" says 58.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    This page lists 63 deaths and locations. I count 8 deaths in the GPO, and 4 in nearby streets.

    The same page has photos of some of the dead, and this isn't any of them unless it is a very young The O'Rahilly? No, definitely not

    It could be 7, 11, 14, 29, 32, 33, 39, 50 on that page.
  • Dubris said:
    How old would you say he is in the picture - late teens or early twenties?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Dubris Looks very much teens to me, but it could be an old picture of whoever as a teen.
  • derangedlemur said:
    We've seen a lot of airbrushed photos where the subject turns out to be 10 years older than they look. He could be anything from 18 to over 30. He doesn't seem to match any of the descriptions of children killed in Dublin during the rising, hence the 18 limit. He has quite a high forehead, so if you imagine a few wrinkles, late 20s or early 30s may not be so fanciful.

    ... Rising of the moon... pikes together. he was a Fenian leader off now to Google as my 1860s/fenian history is very scattered.

    "And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering is to be At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me" m.youtube.com/watch?v=lpiX93rSCoc

    Flickr is sometimes amazing! A very short bio including this photo, via Westmeath Libraries Wikipedia is a bit thin - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keegan_Casey The "Leo" nickname was evidently a nom de plume when he had his first work published aged 16, according to this Trove 1890 article, which has a few other gems. He died aged 23 in 1870 and 50,000 people attended his funeral - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/164858030
  • CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
    In the trove article, it mentions the Mation newspaper . . . John Mitchel, one of the 13 young Irelanders was the editor/maybe owner, I don't exactly recall.
