Sheehy-Skeffington Family

1 p.; clipping

A clipping of a montage of photographs showing the relations of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington. The clipping includes photographs of Mary Sheehy Kettle, a sister-in-law of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington and the wife of Tom Kettle, an Irish Party MP and British soldier. The caption notes that though Sheehy-Skeffington was ‘shot as a rebel – his death is now the subject of a court-martial’. It also notes that his wife’s family (Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington) has many family members serving in the British armed forces including Lieutenant Eugene Sheehy who ‘fought with the [Royal] Dublin fusiliers against the rebels’. The newspaper title from which the clipping was taken is not given.
