DeValera Colls

"1-This photo is of my two aunts dressed for their Confirmation in c 1935. and grand daughters to the elderly Catherine Coll. 2-This is a photo of two Catherine Coll's who were 1st cousins. The lady on the left was Eamon DeValeras mother in her younger days while the older woman was my Great grandmother when she was over 80 years in c.1940. This woman's husband, Morgan Hayes, was an early casualty in the 1916 rising when he was shot by a British sniper on Easter Monday from which he died. His name is on the remembrance wall erected in 2016 in the Phoenix Park."
