As far as I can determine Francis Thomas Felix Norton died on August 6, 1922 in Churchtown, County Cork and is buried in Churchtown Graveyard Volunteer. He was born on 15 July 1904. He was a member of the IRA at the time of his death. He was a mamber of the 5th Battalion 3rd Tipperary Brigade.
Any information you can provide will be sincerely appreciated.
Hi,
This man would appear to have been born in the parish of Rathsallagh, Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow. A check of cemeteries in Churchtown via Find a Grave did not show any result and no record found for him in 1922 on www.irishgenealogy.ie or www.irishnewspaperarchives.com.
There is a web site www.tipperarybrigade.com which may have information on him.
Regards,
Further to previous Post, Tipperary Historical Journal 1994 has detail of A Coy, 5th Batn. There is a note at Appendix 3 - April 3rd -1921? in relation to an instruction given for Thurday night: T. Halley, Acting O/C. There are 26 men listed, the first name is "Frank Norton".
Tipperary Studies may have further information in relation to Frank Norton. www.tipperarylibraries.ie
