Tipperary. He was christened in possibly 8 Nov 1821 in Solohead, Co. Tipperary. He died on 24 Dec 1895 in Murgasty, Co. Tipperary.</p> <blockquote><p>Although it's known that Thomas was born in Soloheadbeg to a father named John Treacy and a a mother named Mary, we're unable to say for definite that he was a son of John Treacy and Mary Looby who married in February 1818. If he was indeed a son of John Treacy and Mary Looby, then he was born in November 1821 because a record of his baptism (on 8 November 1821) has been located (sponsors were John Hanley and Winifred Connors). Unfortunately this birth date doesn't tie in with the age given on his marriage certificate from February 1873, which looks like 37 (indicating he was born around 1835), but the age on the certificate is difficult to make out and could also be deciphered 50 or 51 (indicating he was born around 1822 - a nice fit with the baptismal certificate). However Thomas's death certificate from December 1895 gives his age at 54, indicating he was born around 1841.<br> <br> It's known for certain that our Thomas had a brother named Denis. Unfortunately no baptismal record for a Denis Treacy born in Soloheadbeg to a father named John and a &nbsp;mother named Mary was located.<br> <br> At the time of his marriage, in 1873, Thomas's occupation was a farmer (according to his marriage certificate). At the time of the birth of his son, Thomas, in 1881, he was the superintendant of a coal yard (according to the birth certificate), and at the time of his death in 1895, he was a labourer.<br> <br> Interestingly, among the all the sponsors at the baptism of Thomas's and Mary's children, there's not a single Treacy; the sponsors are mostly Carews.</p> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 WIDTH="100%" > <tr VALIGN=TOP> <td></td> <td><p>Thomas married <b><a name="662"></a>Mary CAREW</b>, daughter of Edmond CAREW and Mary HANLEY, on 25 Feb 1873 in Solohead, Co.

She died after 2 Apr 1911.</p> <blockquote><p>Sponsors at Mary's baptism were Michael Carey and Margaret Hanley. Mary's surname appears as "Keary' in the baptismal register.<br> <br> It's known that Mary was living in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary with her son Martin in 1911. Martin was working there at the time as a gasworks manager.

Tipperary-born brother named Timothy Treacy listed in the 1901 census with three other brothers at Railway Road, Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. All four are teachers. It seems Timmy had moved to London by 1911. No record could be located for him in the Irish census of that year but in the 1911 UK census there's a 31-year-old (although our Timmy would have been 32 years of age at the time) Tipperary-born school teacher named Timothy Joseph Treacy listed as a boarder in the household of a Mr. John McGuinness and his Tipperary-born wife, Bridget, of 9 St. Kilda Road in West Ealing. It wasn't known by current generations of the Treacy family that Timmy had been a Christian Brother so it's likely he didn't remain in religious life very long. By the time of his death in 1930, Timmy, who was unmarried, was working as an instructor with the Co. Cavan Technical Instruction Committee and was living in Lisnabrinnia, Mountnugent, Co.

(Seán) TREACY</b> was born on 14 Feb 1895 in Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary. He was christened on 16 Feb 1895 in Solohead, Co. Tipperary. He died on 14 Oct 1920 in Talbot St., Dublin. He was buried on 18 Oct 1920 in Kilfeacle, Co. Tipperary.<br> <br>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). <br> <br> From 'My Fight for Irish Freedom', the memoir of Dan Breen, an IRA comrade of Seán's and later a politician, &nbsp;we have the following description of Seán's physical appearance:<br> <br> "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".<br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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.</td> </tr></table></td> </tr> </table> </blockquote> <p align=center> <a href="loox.htm#TOC"><img src="images/home.jpg" border=0 ALT="Home"></a> <a href="loog01.htm"><img src="images/start.jpg" border=0 ALT="First"></a> <a href="loog01.htm"><img src="images/prev.jpg" border=0 ALT="Previous"></a> <a href="loog03.htm"><img src="images/next.jpg" border=0 ALT="Next"></a> <a href="loog05.htm"><img src="images/end.jpg" border=0 ALT="Last"></a> </p> <p align=center><a href="loox2.htm">Surname List</a> | <a href="loox31.htm">Name Index</a> </p> </body> </html>
