IRA in Ardoyne, Carrickhill and New Lodge

 

Further to the previous post on names of IRA volunteers in Belfast, here are the listed names for companies in North Belfast, namely C Company of 1st Battalion in Carrickhill, A Company in 2nd Battalion (Ardoyne and the Bone) and D Company in 2nd Battalion (North Queen Street and New Lodge). The same issue apply to the lists as in the previous post. The lists were prepared in the 1930s for two dates, July 1921 and July 1922.

There is no list for D Company on the latter date and list for that date for C Company is hidden among other papers (in MA/MSPC/RO/402 in the Military Archives in Dublin – thanks to Gerry Smith for that information). The D Company list appears incomplete and others from the district appear in other returns (eg Jimmy Steele appears under B Company of the 1st Battalion, based on the Falls Road). The meaning of the code used for some addresses, c/o 118 Leeson Street, isn’t clear either.

Street names and names are as given on the lists and those marked * appear on the July 1921 and July 1922 return, while those marked ** only appear on the July 1922 return.
