One Padraic Pearse (b. Nov. 10,(?) 1879 - d. May 3, 1916)The son of an Irish mother and an English father, he was born at 27 Gt. Brunswick St., (now Pearse St.) in Dublin and educated at the Christian Brothers' School.

In an unpublished autobiography, Patrick Pearse described himself as the 'strange thing that I am'.
