Francis Joseph Teeling was born on 10th May 1899 at 6 Upper Jane Place - the son of Sarah Jane McGrane and her second husband Nicholas Teeling. He married Eliza Bracken in June 1934 aged 35. (His uncle, Nicholas Teeling was married to her aunt Eliza Dempsey) He died 25th January 1976 aged 76 at 7 Upper Jane Place. He is buried with his wife in Glasnevin Cemetery at QJ 212.5 ST. PATRICK'S
Frank Teeling's IRA activities are well documented online and in several books. In particular a book named 'In the Front Gate and Out the Back" by Michael Meehan which is available to read in both The National Library and The Gilbert Library in Pearse Street. Michael has done a fantastic job of researching Franks life and activities before and after The Civil War. So I am concentrating on the information I have found for him.
