The Scahills Of Fahburren

Fahburren also known locally as Prospect, an area of Westport.

Prospect lies about five miles to the south west of Westport town, in the eastern foothills of Croaghpatrick, pronounced crow. For more information on Croagh Patrick, check out this site.

Prospect, as a local placename, refers to the townland of Fahburren, and to a certain extent, some of the surrounding townlands.

It takes its name from a house in Fahburren - Prospect - so called because of its elevated site and extensive views over Clew Bay.

This house was occupied by the Buchanans, a local landlord family.

On Ordnance Survey (O.S.) maps, it is evident that the name Prospect applies to this house and its private estate only, but, over time the name has come to replace the older townland name Fahburren, and so, though not officialy recognised as a townland name by the O.S., the name is well known and used extensively in the locality.

In offical documentation the placename Fahburren would be used, whereas in local conversation etc., Prospect would be used to describe the same locality.

Additional information on Westport and surrounding area can be obtained from the genealogy link at "Mayo on the Move".

Missing - The Siblings Of My Grandfather - Austin Scahill

Where Are My Grandfathers Brother And Sisters? Do You Know?

I'm looking for information on the siblings of my grandfather Austin SCAHILL-70, b. 3 Dec. 1878 at Westport, County Mayo, Ireland.

No trace of his brother or sisters were found in the 1901 census. They possibly moved to Paisley, Scotland and from there one or more of them may have moved to the United States.

There names were:

• John SCAHILL-109, b. 18 Oct. 1873 Westport,
• Bridget SCAHILL-110, b. 27 Jan. 1875, Westport. Possibly moved to the U.S.
• Mary SCAHILL-111, b. 23 Dec. 1876, Westport.

They were the siblings of my g grandfather who was also Austin SCAHILL-107 (Married Twice), b. 1840, County Mayo. who may have died. June 17 1893.

My gg grandfather was John SCAHILL-430, b. 1800 ?, County Mayo, d. 1868.

There spouses surnames were:

• Austin married (1) Margaret CURRIGAN-108 daughter of Patrick CURRIGAN-112 and Anne WARD-113 on Sep 01 1872 in Westport, R.C. Church, County Mayo, Ireland. Margaret was born in 1841 in Ballyhip, Louisburgh, County Mayo, Ireland. She died.,

• Austin married (2) Honor SCAHILL- 429 daughter of Edward SCAHILL-432 and Anne SCAHILL- 433 on Oct 17 1869 in Westport, R.C. Church, County Mayo, Ireland. Honor was born in 1845 in Cloonagh, Westport, County Mayo, Ireland. She died on Jan 19 1872 in Prospect, Westport, County Mayo, Ireland.

John married Margaret REILLY- 427 on Sep 01 1826 in Westport. Margaret was born in 1792. She died on Sep 16 1868 in Prospect, Westport, County Mayo, Ireland.

Any pointers to the whereabouts of my grandfathers brother and sisters would be appreciated.
