Thank you for your efforts Mary 


I am puzzled as at present,  I have George Scally's father as Thomas and his wife as Catherine Connelly.

Possibly married about 1875-1885

May be very common names you are searching for, IGI shows a Thomas Scally and Catherine Conelly with daughter Mary born 16 Oct.1876 Castlefield dist., Co. Galway, Ireland.

Thanks   Mary


I am not sure about this Thomas as they came from Co Galway. No reason why they should not have come from there.

I just looked again at my record of George and Francis.    He died in England age 69 in 1966 which would give his birth as 1876.  He was a retired civil servant and was buried in Relic cemetery in Kilbeggan.   I wonder if you could find his marriage details I guess about 1896 . This might help me back to his father Thomas and confirm the link.  Then I could try to obtain Marriage certificate from GRO

IGI has some, not all, Irish births 1864-c1882 but would not have many marriages for that period (has some 1845-1863 and some earlier misc. church marriage records).
Irish marriage certificates will list the fathers' names and occupatins but not the mothers.

OK .  I will try GRO


Many thanks for all your help.
