Thank you for your efforts Mary
I am puzzled as at present, I have George Scally's father as Thomas and his wife as Catherine Connelly.
Possibly married about 1875-1885

May be very common names you are searching for, IGI shows a Thomas Scally and Catherine Conelly with daughter Mary born 16 Oct.1876 Castlefield dist., Co. Galway, Ireland.

Thanks Mary
I am not sure about this Thomas as they came from Co Galway. No reason why they should not have come from there.
I just looked again at my record of George and Francis. He died in England age 69 in 1966 which would give his birth as 1876. He was a retired civil servant and was buried in Relic cemetery in Kilbeggan. I wonder if you could find his marriage details I guess about 1896 . This might help me back to his father Thomas and confirm the link. Then I could try to obtain Marriage certificate from GRO

IGI has some, not all, Irish births 1864-c1882 but would not have many marriages for that period (has some 1845-1863 and some earlier misc. church marriage records).
Irish marriage certificates will list the fathers' names and occupatins but not the mothers.

Hello Anthony
You have posted a picture of my grandparents and my dad and his brothers and sisters.
My Dad, David is the baby in the photo and Father Joseph Scally is on the left, my uncle, who died some years ago.
I was amazed to find this. My grandmother was Frances Lucas and had Ruby and Winnnie as two of her sisters. I know that two brothers married two sisters and I met Jo Holmes some years back. So many relatives-it is all a bit hazy.
Hope this helps
Kate

I should have added that I have some family pictures which I will try and unearth, but most are not held digitally.
Very best
Kate

I am also researching Scallys in Kilbeggan, but at least a generation earlier than Anthony's family of interest. My GG Grandfather, Patrick Scally, was born in Kilbeggan around 1835 and arrived in Queensland, Australia, on the 'Sabrina' in Nov 1855. His parents were Patrick Scally and Jane McDermott. Griffiths indicates that both these families may have farmed just over the border in Offaly but that is not confirmed. However, I do not know the name of any of Patrick's siblings, so I cannot point to a link to George Scally or his family, or any of the other families mentioned in earlier posts.
It may not be much of a guide, but the names of Patrick's children were: Bernard, Jane, Hugh, Michael, Catherine, Mary Rose, Johanna, Ellen, Patrick, Cecelia, Hannorah, Margaret. The Scallys/Skellys farmed near Toowoomba, then Crows Nest and Gowrie Creek which are all in the same general area.
Curiously, my Patrick had a grandson, another Fr Joseph Skelly (1899-1970), a priest of the Toowoomba diocese who would have been a similar age to the Fr Joe in the photo. (The family name changed from Scally to Skelly within 20 years of their arrival in Queensland.)
And if there are a few redheads in Anthony's photo - and it looks suspiciously like there are! - then the chances of a link grow even stronger.
