Census and Resource Discussion / Ireland to Scotland Samuel Scullion Family Tree
« on: Sunday 24 April 16 20:42 BST (UK) »
I am looking for more information on my dad's side of te family and so far I've went back 3 generations (not much considering i'm 21)
So my grandfather is called Samuel Scullion: a coal miner born in Glasgow in 1921, married Annie Melia (1931- 1990) in 1950 and died in 1989. My dad didn't really know anything about is dad's side of family besides an uncle called Antony (who i still haven't found) so all research is my own.
Samuel's father was also a Samuel Scullion born in 1896 in Ireland and married Kathleen Deane in Glasgow in 1918. This man was in the 6th Battalion of the Leinster Regiment based in the Birr Barracks in Ireland and deserted the army on 28/06/1918 to I'm assuming, run away to Scotland to marry Kathleen. he died in 1959.
Now to the part where I need help. Samuel Scullion was a son of (you guessed it) another Samuel Scullion who lived in Ireland and married an Ellen Gillespie in 1889. This Samuel was a coal miner as found out in Samuel and Kathleen's marriage certificate (i'll attach below). Any information on this Samuel Scullion would be much appreciated. I tried searching for the family in the 1901 Irish census but all I could find was an Ellen Scullion with 5/6 children, one of which was named Samuel who was the same the as my young Samuel who would've been around 5 at this time. Older Sam was nowhere to be seen this time. Did he up and leave his wife and family behind? Was he working elsewhere to provide for his family? If anyone could help I will never be able to thank you enough! Researching alone is hard work!!
