I think his newspaper was called "The Nation" not "The Nature"
Quite right. I fixed it. Filiocht | Blarneyman 07:43, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
My understanding is that Louise Gavan Duffy was headmistress of a girl's school in Dublin (the first one, actually). As the Easter Uprising happened to occur at the same location, she converted the school into a field hospital. This hardly makes her non-peaceful, as the trivia comment implies. Unless the author can muster evidence that she engaged in violence, the implication ought to be dropped.

[edit] family relations
hey, I found out from a relative in Ireland (from Galway) that our family is related to Charles Gavan Duffy. I was wondering if anyone else is realted to him??? (It's kinda creepy he looks just like my grandfather too...) I was just curious b/c the guy in the other discussion is from syracuse (syr.edu?) and I go to college at geneseo new york near rochester an hour away. My sister knows more about the geneology stuff than I do though so ill have to find out more about this stuff.
Several mistrakes Spotted a couple of mistrakes - opps- mistakes in the main article and altered. Also added in further details.Tonyob 02:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Background section
The background section will need to be referenced, as the information is incorrect. I will sort it out, but would like to see the sources that were used first. Of all the members of Young Ireland, Duffy left the most information regarding this period. Regards--Domer48 12:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removed some referenced Text
The information contained in the reference was incorrect. O’Conner was not in communication at all with Duffy. The account given (Four Years of Irish History 1845-1849, pg 669) is by one of the agents of the Directory in America. Duffy was not involved in the rebellion of 1848 at all; he was in prison on a charge of sedition. Regards --Domer48 20:46, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
