Bedelia MORRIS was born about 30 Jul 1876 and was christened 30 Jul 1876 in Castlerea, Co . Roscommon.

Daniel (Dan) SULLIVAN [Parents] was born about 1840 in Caheraveelane, Kilshannig; or Glynn, Mourneabbey. He died in prob Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was buried in Donoughmore Cemetery, Stuake, Co. Cork. Daniel married Mary DOODY on 20 Jan 1880 in Galbally, Co. Limerick.

Dan met his wife, Mary Doody from Galbally, through a brother of hers. Sometime in the 1870s, a teenager from Galbally - Mary's brother (it's not known if it was James, John, Mike or Dick) - arrived in the Glynn area looking for a job. He had failed a secondary school exam, and because of of trouble at home as a result, he left Galbally and went looking for work. Dan's father, Séamus, took him in. In his free time, Mary's brother used to join Dan and his brother, Jim, in their athletic pursuits. One day, the boys were pole-vaulting and Mary's brother broke his arm; his mother was contacted and so she made the journey from Galbally to Glynn. When her son told her of the generosity of the Sullivans, she invited them to Galbally for a visit. When Dan went to Galbally, he met Mary for the first time, and they eventually married. Just over a year after the marriage, Mary's sister, Julia, married Dan's brother, Jim.

Mary DOODY [Parents] was born about 21 Sep 1854 in Knockainy or Galbally, Co. Limerick and was christened 21 Sep 1854 in Galbally, Co. Limerick. She died date unknown and was buried in Donoughmore Cemetery, Stuake, Co. Cork. Mary married Daniel (Dan) SULLIVAN on 20 Jan 1880 in Galbally, Co. Limerick.

Sponsors at Mary's baptism were Thomas Quirke and Mary Fahy.

They had the following children:

  F i
Ellen O'SULLIVAN was born about 20 Nov 1880 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 20 Nov 1880 in Mourneabbey, Co. Cork.

Ellen is listed, aged 30 and single, in the 1911 census return for her parents' household, suggesting that she still lived in the family home.
  M ii James (Jamsey Dan) O'SULLIVAN was born 12 Jan 1883 and died Jun 1966.
  M iii
Michael O'SULLIVAN was born about 3 Oct 1884 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 3 Oct 1884 in Mourneabbey, Co. Cork.

Michael isn't listed in the 1901 census return for the household of his parents. Had he died, or did he spend the night of March 31st 1901 away from home? He would have been 16 at the time of the 1901 census. Nor is he listed in the 1911 census for his parents' household.
  M iv
Daniel (Dan) O'SULLIVAN "Dan" was born about 26 Oct 1889 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork and was christened 26 Oct 1889 in Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. He died Nov 1963 and was buried in Gouldshill Cemetery, Mallow, Co . Cork.

Dan never married. He lived with Jamsey and his family and is buried with Jamsey.

Mary O'SULLIVAN was born about 1896 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork.

Denis TREACY [Parents] was born about 1831 in prob Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary. He died 19 Mar 1899 in Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary from bronco-pneumonia and was buried in Kilfeacle, Co. Tipperary. Denis married Bridget ALLIS on 5 Feb 1894 in Anacarty, Cappagh, Co. Tipperary.

It hasn't been possible to determine Denis's date of birth. According to his marriage certificate he was 45 when he married in February 1894, indicating he was born around 1848. However, according to the death register he was 67 when he died in March 1899, indicating he was born around 1831. This is a big difference. Because I've seen a copy of the actual death register and only transcribed details from the original marriage certificate, I'll assume for now that Denis was born about 1831.

Bridget ALLIS [Parents] was born about 1863 in prob. Hollyford, Co. Tipperary. She died 14 Jun 1941 and was buried in Kilfeacle, Co. Tipperary. Bridget married Denis TREACY on 5 Feb 1894 in Anacarty, Cappagh, Co. Tipperary.

Bridget was from Hollyford, Co. Tipperary.

Marriage Notes:

Witnesses to the marriage were Denis Ryan of Soloheadbeg and Mary Josephine Ryan of Hollyford.

They had the following children:

  M i
John J. (Seán) TREACY was born 14 Feb 1895 in Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary and was christened 16 Feb 1895 in Solohead, Co. Tipperary. He died 14 Oct 1920 in Talbot St., Dublin and was buried 18 Oct 1920 in Kilfeacle, Co. Tipperary.

Sponsors at Seán's baptism were Michael Allis and Kate Allis. He was an only child. After his father died when he was only four, he and his mother moved from Soloheadbeg to Hollyford where his mother had grown up. They returned to Soloheadbeg when Seán was about 11. From an early age, Seán had nationalist leanings, and in his teens he joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood which later evolved into the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

From "My Fight for Irish Freedom", the memoir of Dan Breen, an IRA comrade of Seán's and later a politician,  we have the following description of Seán's physical appearance:

He had been delicate during his boyhood because of his fast rate of growth. He was almost a six-footer, slightly stooped in carriage. He weighed about twelve stone, and in an emergency manifested the strength of a lion; this was chiefly due to his amazing will-power. His movements were brisk, as if he were in a constant hurry. His hair was of very fine texture like spun-silk, almost mouse-coloured. He was short-sighted and wore glasses".

In August 1917, Seán was arrested and spent two months in jail. The following year he was rearrested and spent four months in jail. Then on 21 January 1919, along with other members of the IRA's Third Tipperary Brigade, including Dan Breen, Seán took part in the Soloheadbeg ambush in which three members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, who were escorting a transportation of explosives, were waylaid and shot dead. This was the first military incident of the War of Independence.

Seán and the others who took part in the ambush now had a price on their heads, and Seán Hogan, one of those involved, was captured shortly afterwards. In May 1919 at Knocklong railway station in Co. Limerick, in a successful attempt by Seán Treacy and others to free Seán Hogan as he was being transferred to jail, Seán Treacy was shot in the neck and seriously wounded. He recovered, and throughout the latter half of 1919 and most of 1920 he led attacks against the British in Dublin and Co. Tipperary. But on 14 October 1920 in Dublin, following a raid by British forces on the Republican Outfitters store at 94 Talbot St., where Seán was meeting with IRA comrades, he was shot and killed on the street as he fled the shop. A small plaque above the door of the shop commemorates the spot. Seán is remembered each year on the anniversary of his death at a commemoration ceremony in Kilfeacle where he is buried.

James ALLIS died before 5 Feb 1894. He married Catherine STAPLETON (Caution: not verified).

Catherine STAPLETON (Caution: not verified) married James ALLIS.

They had the following children:

  F i
Mary Anne ALLIS was born about 1856. She died after 1925.

Mary Anne lived in the family home in Hollyford, Co. Tipperary, with her brother Jim. Following the death in 1899 in Soloheadbeg (also Co. Tipperary) of the husband of her sister Bridget, Bridget left Soloheadbeg with her son, Seán, and returned to her old family home in Hollyford. Then, around 1906, when Jim got married, Bridget and Seán returned to Soloheadbeg accompanied by Mary Anne who helped raise Seán.

John Joseph LOGAN [Parents] was born Jan 1849 in Cootehall, Co. Roscommon and was christened 13 Jan 1849 in Cootehall, Co. Roscommon. He died 1906. John married Anne Josephine MCPARTLAND on 12 Feb 1877 in Cootehall, Boyle, Co. Roscommon.

Sponsors at John's baptism were Charles Meehan and Margaret Meehan. John worked as a station master for the railroad. His address at the time of his marriage in 1877 was Glooria, Co. Roscommon.

Anne Josephine MCPARTLAND [Parents] was born 1853 in prob Cootehall, Co. Roscommon. She died after 7 Sep 1910. Anne married John Joseph LOGAN on 12 Feb 1877 in Cootehall, Boyle, Co. Roscommon.

According to her marriage certificate, Anne's address at the time of her marriage in 1877 was Rockingham, Co. Roscommon. The occupation of her father, Myles, is given as coachman. Perhaps Myles worked at Rockingham Demesne.

Witnesses to the marriage of Anne and John were Charles Meehan and Catherine McPartland. Presumably Catherine was her sister who married John's brother, Peter. Anne also had a brother named Thomas.

At the time of the 1901 census, John, Anne and their family were living in the station house in the townland of Cartronking in the parish of Kilmore, Co. Roscommon.

They had the following children:

  F i

Agnes died eight days after her birth.
  F ii
Annie Mary Josephine LOGAN was born 10 Feb 1882 in Greatmeadow, Boyle, Co. Roscommon.

It's thought that birth and baptism records for a Joseph Logan born 10 February 1882 to John Logan and Anne McPartland actually relate to Anne. If so, sponsors at her baptism were Thomas McPartland and Bridget Hargarden. Annie's name appears in the 1901 census return for her parents' household. Her age is given as 20 and her occupation looks like "clerk". Joseph is not listed.

  M vii

According to the 1901 census, Thomas was born in Co. Sligo. However his parents lived in Greatmeadow, Co. Roscommon at the time.

Thomas, who lived in Hill of Down, Co. Meath, died in St. Loman's Hospital in Mullingar.
