Where can I find out more about The 1916 rising? |
Travel Info Where can I research the 1916 rising? Also is there anyone you can pay to research/check newspapers from that day? My g.g grandfather stores "lawrence's great baazar" were destroyed during the rising and id like to learn more about it. "At 4.10pm, Eamon Bulfin on the roof of the GPO, watched as children looted a photography and toy shop, Lawrence's, and came out with a large quantity of fireworks. They "made a huge pile of them in the middle of O'Connell Street, and set fire to them. That is one thing that will stick in my mind forever. We had our bombs on top of the Post Office, and these fireworks were shooting up in the sky. We were very nervous. There were Catherine wheels going up O'Connell Street and Catherine wheels coming down O'Connell Street." The looters then set Lawrence's on fire." Travel Tips I'll keep looking, but your quest seems more like a genealogical history research. As you will see in the photo link below, it was on Sackville St, and was a photo gallery and toy shop. It was said that many boys and girls used to meet there as well as adults. (Your Great Grandfathers store is the one the children looted for fireworks. O'Conner Street was just around the bend, and now that part of Sackville St. is called O'Connor Street.) This woman is researching the same man: I am looking for information on William Lawrence, born in Ireland in 1840 (died 1932). At the age of 24, in 1865, he opened a store in Dublin called 'Lawrence's Great Bazaar', which operated in that city until 1916. http://genforum.genealogy.com/rowan/mess...
