Anthony,

Patrick Scally died just on 96 years ago, 2 Nov 1912, in Brisbane. The family then took him back to his former locality and buried him in Crows Nest cemetery with his wife, Mary (O'Mara), who was originally from Borrisoleigh in Co. Tipperary.

I am interested in any of the Scally families that you have traced to Kilbeggan, and the links between them - if any. Going by the Griffith's Valuation records, there were clearly a number of different families in the area, though my Patrick was probably not the Patrick recorded leasing 18 acres in Clonaglin, just to the east of Kilbeggan.

Thanks Bernard.  Do you have any photographs? 


I checked my Scally family tree records and found a photograph of a headstone in New Relic Cemetery, Kilbeggan  with these details

Rose Scally born  1809   died 21st Aug 1885 ( from Rahugh )

Her daughter Catherine Scally died 11th March 1873 aged 23 years

On the same headstone Brenden Scally d 27th Jan 1967  son of James and Bridget Scally

1859 Cavan Extracts;
the Kilbegoan Aceldama;
Thomas Scally, caretaker of the Culnamier bog, property of Ralph Smith, summoned to the Kilbegan Petty sessions, five men, from the families of Ryan & Grehan, for having trespassed on his masters property and taken Bog manure.
The offenders were fined for trespass and it appears actuaized by a spirit of revenge subsecquently attacked Thomas Scally and his brother Michael in Kilbeggan market. At 7pm the same evening the Scally's were peacefully returning home when overtaken by their assailants who beat them in a most inhuman manner with bludgeons and stones and but for the approaching police caused the ruffians to desist from their murderious work, leaving the vitims almost lifeless.

Hello Kate,
I was amazed to see my mums name,Jo Holmes on this site.and other familiar names Ruby and Winnie.

My grandmother was Ethel Lucas,sister to Ruby and Winnie.Ethel married Joseph Scally but he was killed at Paschendale in OCTOBER 1917 and my mother Josephine Francis Scally was born 4/1/1918. Winnie lived at Golden Island house in Athlone and I remeber auntie Ruby was a nanny to many wealthy families.Ethel Lucas remarried and had 3 further children John, Mary and Margaret.I have some photos I think of the two Scally brothers Joseph and George? but will have to scan them

Anthony.  A Mary Scally was married to an ancestor of mine named James Handibode about 1833.  Both were from Westmeath in Kilbeggan area. Mary died in New York city in 1866. Can't find her husband James in the States but their children were there and I have info on them. Catherine Handibode, Mary's daughter died 9 days after her and is interred in same cemetery. Contact me for more info.
