The Bachelor's Walk massacre occurred in Dublin, on 26 July 1914, when a column of troops of the King's Own Scottish Borderers were accosted by a crowd on Bachelor's Walk following the Howth gun-running operation. The troops attacked protesters with rifle fire and bayonets - resulting in the deaths of four civilians and injuries to 30 more. Luke Kelly senior, the father of Luke Kelly of The Dubliners, was one of the wounded.
@bullivant Fairly theoretical, but I wonder if this is Luke Kelly's mother's parents getting married in 1901, her father then living in the poorest street in Dublin https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/transcript-civil/4f2a401669301?b=https%3A%2F%2Fcivilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie%2Fchurchrecords%2Fdetails-civil%2F4f2a401669301%3Fb%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fcivilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie%252Fchurchrecords%252Fcivil-perform-search.jsp%253Fnamefm%253DPatrick%2526namel%253DFleming%2526location%253D%2526yyfrom%253D1899%2526yyto%253D1902%2526type%253DM%2526submit%253DSearch%2526sort%253D%2526pageSize%253D100%2526century%253D%2526decade%253D%2526exact%253D%2526ddBfrom%253D%2526ddMfrom%253D%2526ddDfrom%253D%2526ddPfrom%253D%2526mmBfrom%253D%2526mmMfrom%253D%2526mmDfrom%253D%2526mmPfrom%253D%2526yyBfrom%253D%2526yyMfrom%253D%2526yyDfrom%253D%2526yyPfrom%253D%2526ddBto%253D%2526ddMto%253D%2526ddDto%253D%2526ddPto%253D%2526mmBto%253D%2526mmMto%253D%2526mmDto%253D%2526mmPto%253D%2526yyBto%253D%2526yyMto%253D%2526yyDto%253D%2526yyPto%253D%2526locationB%253D%2526locationM%253D%2526locationD%253D%2526locationP%253D%2526keywordb%253D%2526keywordm%253D%2526keywordd%253D%2526keywordp%253D%2526event%253DM%2526district%253D
@sinabhfuil When I click the link I get the marriage of Patrick Fleming and Elizabeth McDonald
on 30 July 1901.
@bullivant Luke Kelly Sr married Elizabeth Fleming, daughter of Patrick Fleming and Elizabeth McDonald, Elizabeth McDonald's father Andrew was a sailor, I think from Scotland
@sinabhfuil Ah. Thank you for the explanation.
