Previous thread on son Francis Skeffington:

Difficult without knowing any more details. Can only find 1 likely death registration for a Francis Skeffington the right age- Francis SKEFFINGTON, age 64, Jan./Mar.1885 Belfast registration district, volume 1 page 300. Unfortunately death certificates contain little detail and unless son Francis is listed as the informant and identified as 'son' you can't be sure this is Francis' father.
Of course, Francis, Sr. could have died before 1864 or not stayed in Ireland.

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html) and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start? (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,498742.0.html).
