MICHAEL O'CONNELL,
Madam, - I am researching the life and times of Capt James P. Roche, MC. He was born in Cahirciveen, Co Kerry in 1888. He died during the first World War on the Messine ridge. As part of my research I discovered that he had a brother, Stephen Anselm Roche, who was a civil servant and reached the rank of Secretary of the Department of Justice. He died on January 22nd, 1949. I understand that Stephen had two sons and two daughters. The family resided at Morehampton Road, Dublin 4.
I would appreciate any information from any of Mr Roche's relatives or from any other source who could help with my research. - Yours, etc.,
MICHAEL O'CONNELL,
