Hello everyone,
I have traced my Gt.Grandfather a
John Scullion bn c1884/5 to the Parish of Cloonclare in County Leitrim, Ireland.
He left Ireland at some stage (probably c1900) and married my Gt Grandmother in Hamilton, Scotland...in 1907 the marriage cert has his father as
Owen Scullion and his mother as
Maria Green (deceased).
On searching the
http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/index.shtmlI found no Scullions but one reference on the 1901 Census to a Scollion ... due to the arbitrary spelling of names of the day I am assuming a possible sibling...
The townland the abovenamed is registered against is Carrickrevagh....
Again on checking Griffiths and tithe reports i I can find no Scullions but do find an
Owen Scollin listed in Carrickrevagh (Tithe) 1820-30
Owen Scollon listed in Carrickrevagh (Griffiths) 1856
Owen Scullion appears to have went to Scotland also as there is one on the 1901 census there in the sames street as a John Scullion both boarding with other Irish families....but no other trace of him thereafter ie. no death certification ... I assume he may have returned to Ireland at some stage!!
Does anyone have any knowledge of the foregoing names as I have hit the Irish Genealogy wall !!
Thanks
