Hi! My father, grandfather and great grandfather were all called Robert Scanlon, Irish Catholics. My great grandfather came to England during the famine. My grandfather and father were born in Wales and England. know my grandfather was in a POW camp, I wonder if there is any connection with the Robert Scanlon you are researching?
