O'Connor (copied from User:Jasper33's talk page)[edit]
I've found reference in "A Mullagh Miscellany", by Paul O Donnell, volume one, 2003 to the following - Dr. Michael O'Connor and Rev Fr Thomas J. O'Connor, P.P. Mullagh (1924-1951). They were brothers, and possibly of your O'Connor. It features a photo of the two in uniform, and states "This photo was taken in 1917 during World War I when Fr O'Connor was Chaplain to the Connaught Rangers. he served with distinction as it is known that he merited mention for his bravery in dispatches back to England. He became disillusioned after the mutiny of the Connaught Rangers and returned to Ireland and was appointed P.P. (parish priest) in Mullagh in 1924. ... His brother was a doctor in the british Army also and he later returned to Ireland and would be known for his story reading for children on Radio Eireann in the early 1960's. They were natives of Victoria Terrace, Barrack Street, loughrea, and uncles of Eamon Hayes, Portumna, and Mrs. Darcy, Ballinasloe." Fergananim (talk) 01:30, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
