Scollin or Scolllen

[PaulFincken]

Looking for details of Hugh Scollin born around 1847 in Ireland (possibly in Fermanagh). In particular a birth, or census info to show where he was around 1851 etc.

Cheers

Hi,

You are lucky having such a rare name to research. There were 5 Scollins in the Griffith valuation in Donegal (1) and Fermanagh.  There were 7 Scollens in Donegal (2) Tyrone (1) and Fermanagh.

One was Scollin, John,  Enniskillen Henry St. Rossorry  Fermanagh

Is there a Scollin name message board you can post on?

During my research, I have continued to run into a "Scollin" and
"Scollins" from Connecticut  (USA).  I have information of a Harold
Vincent Scollin (b. 12 October 1892) from Danbury, CT.  This Scollin married
Mabel Jones, and they had a son named Harold V. Scollin, JR. (b.26 October
1919) from Boston, MA. I believe that Harold JR married Ruth Brooks.  I have some unverified info dating back to the late 1820's for this family.  I believe there is a Hugh in this line.  The one rule of genealogy is never throw out data.  Do an online search for "Shalvoy".  There research is following that line, and may be what you are looking for.

O'Sceallain which became Anglicized to Skallan, Scollon, Scollin and Scallan, etc. is the actual original surname (I believe).  While there is also a Scallan family in Wexford nearly all the Scollons, Scallans, etc, in the North of Ireland stem from O'Sceallain.

Scollin, Scollon, and Scollan appear to be interchangeable when I
conducted research into that surname.  It has been my experience that the spelling of "Scollin" changes as often as it was recorded in Ireland.  Most often, it was recorded by parish priests.  I was able to track my roots to Northeastern Ireland in the County of Leitrim, Town of Corrabarrack (Curbarrick?), in the parish of Fenagh.  Even in the Baptism records from that Parish, the spelling of our surname is Scollon and Scollan.  It was the parents christened names which allowed me to verify the baptismal records.

I can only trace my ancestors back to approximately 1816.  Michael Scollon
(Scollin) was born on or about that year.  He married a woman by the name of Mary Scally.  I was able to verify their identities through church records and
land records (1833).  They had the following children:
        Elizabeth (b.1835 - d.1901)  m. Peter McGovern
        Margaret Scollin (b.1837)
        Ellen Scollin (b.1840 - d.24 June 1908) m. Patrick Scollan
        Ann (b.1842) presumedly died as infant
        Michael (b.1 May 1844 - d.5 December 1916) m. Mary Reddington
        Ann (b.1851)

I believe most, or all, of the children emigrated to the United States
through Boston prior to 1863.  I am certain that Elizabeth, Ellen and
Michael did.  They all settled in Auburn, NY.

Michael Scollin (b.1844) and his wife Mary Reddington had the
following children:
        John (b.16 March 1870)
        William (b.9 February 1872)
        Francis (b.11 March 1875) m. Catherine McGeever
        Michael (b.1 May 1875 d.1901)
        Charles (b.28 July 1877 d.1892)
        George (b.4 July 1880 d.1943) m. Bertha Conklin
        Mary Ellen (b.24 June 1884) m. VanPatten (moved to Santa Monica)
        Margaret (b.2 February 1887) m. Bidwell (moved to Santa Monica)

My great-grandfather was George.  I have fairly complete records following
his family tree through to my children.
 
I am more than willing to share what data I have it is useful to you.

Not sure where this information fits yet and it would be great to have the data you have so I can compare and check.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello everyone,

This may well be irrelevant to the previous poster but 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 Great 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.shtml

I 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 same street as a John Scullion both boarding with other Irish families....but no other trace of him 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

***UPDATE***(2012)

I have continued to pick away at my Irish roots and I am fairly certain that Owen Scollin who Mary MacGrenary on 4 Mar 1867 in CLOONCLARE, County Leitrim, Ireland, are my Gt Gt Grandparents.

I have updated my findings onto a website (link below) if anyone wants to compare information, most of the descendants seem to have headed to the states, but some also went to England.

Have you checked for Scullion or similar on the 1901 census in the parish in Ireland?

Thanks for responding

I have checked the 1901 census and could only find a Scollion (Patrick)...
...is that what you meant?

Hi there, I wonder if all you Scollens out there are aware that  a Henry Scollen was killed at the battle of The Little Bighorn?  He may have been related to you.
