Strahan?
More likely.

A bit more-
Roscommon Messenger, 16 Jan.1909: Death and Funeral of Mr Michael Flynn, Corbo. The death took place at his residence, Corbo, Kilrooskey, on the 9th inst, of Michael Flynn, at the ripe age of 82 years. Deceased fought in the American Civil War and was in receipt of a pension from the American ...

A few avenues to try-
There are Civil War Pension records (Ancestry? possibly Find My Past?)
There are also records of incoming and outgoing U.K. Passenger lists (1890-1960 I think)

If you can find baptismal records for these 3 plus your Thomas it might help with your family tree.

 How do I get the baptism certificates?


Michael's baptism was in Athleague parish on 1st Feb. 1869. Ellen's surname looks like Strachan to me. Godparents Burke.
I didn't spot a baptism for James. There were 2 runs of registers containing baptisms in 1864. They confused me. There may be entries missing or out of order.
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0537
Tip - be flexible when looking for baptisms & birthdates. D.o.b. in births register may not have been accurate. Registration of births was a new thing.

1 register seems to finish July 1864. Rest of page blank. Following page is marriages. (Unless there are more baptisms after marriage register.) Next baptism register begins Nov. 1864. Then another baptism register begins Jan. 1865. Perhaps registers from different chapels in the parish or kept by different priests.

Think I found John McDonnell but guess who's his uncle (head of household)- James Shruane!
