Donegal / Re: McCauley & Gill Families Moville
« on: Tuesday 14 May 24 10:23 BST (UK) »
Sean/ Jason, it's been a while.
Looking in to this line further for a couple of McCauley relatives in the US who are trying to trace their line back.
From the marriage record of Michael and Jane Hemphill we can see that Michaels Father is Bernard. We are exploring a theory that Bernard has a brother Thomas born around 1835 and who moved to the US and that their father may be also called Michael.
Is anyone aware of any local resources for birth Marriage and Deaths. Is anyone aware if their are the church records available. I can't seem to find anything on Family Search or Irish Genealogy as we are pre Civil record dates.
Sean are you from the Moville area or have I picked that up wrong.
Regards Mark

Mayo / Re: Scully Family - Mayo
« on: Saturday 27 April 24 21:01 BST (UK) »
All, Thanks so much for the leads.
Yes in his death Cert the mothers Maiden Name appears to be Gallagher (bit unclear).
On the Marriage Cert to Barbara Blue in 1904 his mothers name appears to be Cassidy (she is deceased).
His father Michaels Occupation is Stone Quarry Foreman on the marriage cert. On his death Cert his fathers Occupation is Labourer.
In the Death Cert in 1223 hes 47 (1976)
In the Marriage Cert in 1904 hes 26 (1978).
In the 1901 Census he is living in Greenock Scotland and hes 23 (1978).
Im always sceptical on info on death certs as info is only as good as the person that gives the informations memory. Ive seen a few errors over the years. Especially when 2nd half of the couple die.
Interesting the hits are in Wexford and not Mayo or Donegal.
The reason i was thinking Donegal is that the only record i can find for Michael in the 1911 Census that is close is for a Michael Skelley living on site at a waterworks in Clydebank. If he had a strong Irish Accent and couldnt read or write its not inconceivable If the right Michael in 1911 he is 32 (1979). I'll have a look through the info and see if i can find any records to corroborate.

Mayo / Scully Family - Mayo
« on: Saturday 27 April 24 12:02 BST (UK) »
Hi Looking for any info on Scully family's in Mayo.
Trying to tie in my Michael Scully born 1876-78 to a Catherine M Scully Born abt 1871 in Mayo.
Catherines Parent were Thomas Scully Born 1831 and Margaret Mumeri or Murray Born Abt 1850 (different names on different USA records) both noted as Born Mayo in Catherines Death Record.
Had a look at the readily available records and cant find any of them. Any assistance or leads would be really appreciated. Catherine Married Thomas Stapleton and the family from then on are well documented including her death in Chicago.
There is also Anne Jane Scully Born 1870 and died 1907 in Cook Illinois who married Farrell Rigney who may be a sister or cousin to Catherine. Again Rigney family well documented.
I have a decent DNA link to both these lines which is why i think there is a common link to all three lines.
I originally thought my Great Grandfather Michael was from Donegal but very little was know about him. He died in 1923 in Aberdeen Scotland. On his marriage Cert it says his father was also Michael Scully.

That's a real shame, was a great resource. I have downloaded quite a lot of these previously.

Argyllshire / Re: Blue family, Kilmun
« on: Tuesday 26 May 20 21:02 BST (UK) »Hi there. I think the family may be connected. My father was Michael Scully Fitzpatrick, brother to Eleanor and son to Agnes Scully and Joe Fitzpatrick. Shortly before he died he talked about working as a stevedore at Greenock dock yards. We have never heard this story and wanted to see if anyone had info about this job, maybe even worked with him.Hi Donna, Ive sent you a PM. Regards Mark Harrison
Thanks Donna

Thank you. Any idea where the closest cemetery would be as a starting point. Having a look at the map would it be Bullys Acre.

Thank you Elwyn. I have found nearly all the close family members and their graves. They are all buried in Deans Grange Cemetery where there is no record of any Albert Byrnes being buried. One brother died in WW1 in Belgium another in Scotland. Im currently trying to trace the sister Anne to see if she married but with a name like Anne Byrne it will be a needle in a haystack.
