Lucy Agnes Smyth
Lucy Agnes Smyth Byrne (b. 1882 - d. 1972) was an officer in Cumann na mBan, an Irish republican women's paramilitary organisation, during the time of the 1916 Easter Rising. She played a prominent role in the organisation as she was the section leader of its Central branch, and eventually in later years became its 1st Lieutenant.
==Early life==
Smyth was born in 1882 in Dublin City. She was brought up at the residence of house 76 Eccles Street, Inns Quay, Dublin. Her father Thomas Smyth was brought up in Dublin. He was a law stationer. When he died Smyth’s brother James Leo became head of the house. Her mother Sarah, was a housewife. She was brought up in Enniskillen. Smyth had three sisters and one brother. Her sisters were called Sarah Jane, Mary and Margaret Winifred. Her brother WM Thos. Smyth was a Roman Catholic and a member of the local parish of St. George in North Dublin. When she moved to the residence of 49.4 in Rutland Square, West Rotunda, Dublin after her father died she became a member of the local St. Mary’s Parish in Rotunda West, Dublin. Smyth was also a fluent Irish speaker according to the 1911 census. At the time of the 1911 her occupation was a typist.
Thomas F. Byrne and Smyth married on April 28, 1919. Shortly after they married they moved to Upper Eccles Street opposite the Mater Hospital. Early in 1920, Smyth and Byrne's first child died after a raid by the Black and Tans where Byrne was arrested and jailed. The couple were involved in the War of Independence. Her daughter Sheila wrote regarding her birth, "I should have been born in 1922, but my mother fell under the cat and I came early".
In a witness statement by Elizabeth Colbert, sister of Conn Colbert who was executed in 1916 she describes her encounter with Smyth and her brother's love for Smyth. After her brother’s execution, Elizabeth visited her house and Smyth showed her the letters she had received from Colbert. Elizabeth then quickly learned of her brother’s love for Smyth, he described her as ‘the nicest girl in Dublin’. Elizabeth then claimed that her brother would have married her had he not been executed. Father O’Mahony, a local parish priest informed Smyth of a package that Conn Colbert had handed him to be delivered to Smyth.〔 Smyth never received the package and went with Elizabeth to visit Fr. O’Mahony. He told Smyth that a young girl had offered to deliver it to her, he presumed she was a member of Cumann na mBan and that her last name was "Mc Namara".〔 However, the parcel was never found as they were unable to trace its whereabouts. This was a big disappointment for both Smyth and Elizabeth Colbert. Conn Colbert was a rival of Smyth's husband, Tom Byrne.〔
