Christopher Cathcart (10), 28 Charlemont Street. He was killed on Easter Monday. He died at Portobello barracks and death cert states – “probably haemorrhage from a gunshot wound”. His father Patrick was a coachbuilder. In the 1911 census his family of 11 shared the 6 roomed house with 3 other families – 27 people. His niece Mary tells me that he was shot dead in crossfire at Portobello Bridge. He had gone to play in Palmerston Park in Ranelagh that morning. Work was sent for him to come home immediately as the Rising had started – but he rambled off on his own and was accidentally shot.
