I've recently purchased a book... entitled "1916 Rebellion Handbook"
It has 1916 in large RED figures on the cover with 'Rebellion Handbook' written underneath in white....just so you can recognise it.
For anyone researching their Irish ancestors/relatives this is a must have!
There are pages and pages of names and addresses of people who were taken prisoner, stating where they were held. Also names the ones that were executed.
Haven't found any of my Irish ancestors that were executed but looks like a brother of my grandfather was imprisoned as the address was the same as Granpops when he was married in Dublin 1913!
The book also lists the names and addresses of identified persons interred in Glasnevin Cemetry and who died as a result of bullet or gunshot wounds arising out of the rebellion. Also includes those that were trampled to death by crowds in the streets.
Lots of info about Royal Irish Constabulary and Dublin Metropolitan Police Force, Names those that were wounded and those that died.
Army ....Killed or died of wounds and those that were just wounded.

The F. Pollard in the book WAS my Grandfather's brother!
Also found him here....http://www.interment.net/ireland/index.htm
Buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.....Pollard, Lieut. Francis Domino, d. 2 May 1970, s/o Joseph & Margaret ( Four Courts Garrison 1916)
