Individual Details
Nicholas TREACY
(Abt 20 Sep 1875 - 26 Apr 1959)
A Margaret Treacy of Soloheadbeg was the informant named on Nicholas's birth record. This was presumably Nicholas's paternal grandmother. Sponsors at Nicholas's baptism were Thomas McGrath and Johanna Treacy.
It is known that Nicholas was related to our Treacys although the exact relationship is not certain. What is certain is that my grandfather Thomas Treacy (1881-1969) had a cousin named Nicholas Treacy and that he was NOT a first cousin. It is also known that Thomas's first cousin Seán Treacy (1895-1920) had a cousin named Nicholas Treacy (see next paragraph), who is definitely our Nicholas above, but it is not known what type of cousin he was. It is possible that Nicholas was a second cousin of Thomas and Seán, i.e., it is possible that Nicholas's Treacy grandfather, also named Nicholas, and John, the grandfather of Thomas and Seán, were brothers.
In Desmond Ryan's book, "Seán Treacy and the Third Tipperary Brigade IRA" (1945), there is mention of "Seán's cousin, Nicholas Treacy", who was involved in plans to rescue Seán from jail in Dundalk in 1918. Seán and two other IRA prisoners were on hunger strike but called it off when their demands were met. As a result the rescue mission was called off.
According to a family source, Thomas Treacy's cousin Nicholas (probably Nicholas above) lived on a small farm next to the Carey farm in Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary.
