Galway / Re: Fr Charles Scahill - Tuam
« on: Thursday 24 March 22 21:31 GMT (UK) »
Hello!
Wow - Thank you so much for all of this really useful information! This has been so helpful in really trying to understand him and his life. It’s really quite sensitive, but we are supporting a relative in law with tracing his birth family - so this information has been very gratefully received. It has been a complete needle in haystack type work, but after sometime I hope we have at least one significant lead.
Feel like we are really getting a sense of him, especially the information about his love for music. The link with Dublin in 1942 is very significant, so thank you for this information! Apologies, I’m quite new to the forum and not sure how to comment to thank you individually. My next step is now trying to gather more information about a Mrs Costello, she was apparently in the Marian Choir in Tuam, she was apparently his housekeeper.
I don’t quite know how to access newspapers in Ireland, I have just extended my account on find my post, but I can’t seem to find relevant Irish newspapers - What platform is best for this?
Apologies for the lack of reply on the Gallaghers - Yes, his mother was a Gallagher married Scahill. We managed to narrow down the line we were interested in and here we are!
Once again - Huge Thanks,
Sarah
