Mary Scahill - Marriage - International Genealogical Index - British Isles

The International Genealogical Index (IGI) is a database of genealogical records, compiled from several sources, and maintained by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Originally created in 1969, the index was intended to help track the performance of temple ordinances for the deceased.

The IGI contains information submitted for vicarious ordinances by LDS researchers, records obtained from contributors who are not members of the church, and data extracted from microfilmed birth or marriage records. The index contains millions of records of individuals who lived between 1500 and 1900, primarily in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

The IGI contains many duplicate names, accumulated over time from many sources. Many IGI records contain information on the submitter and date of submission. The IGI is available at FamilySearch, the LDS genealogy website.

Scahill Families In 1856 Westport

In the ninetenth century there were a number of Scahill Families in the Westport area, i.e. the parishes of *Oughaval, *Kilmena and *Aghagower.

It is probable that all were related to some degree, but unfortunately records for this part of the country are neither old enough, nor explicit enough to allow any degrees of kinship to be established.

The General Valuation of Rateable Property
,1856, is the first source giving the name of landholders and tenants through out the entire country. From this source it is apparent that there were fourteen Scahill households around Westport, the most of which were in the Murrisk area.

The town of Westport lies mostly in the parish of Oughaval (pronounced "Oak-wall"), and partly in the parish of Kilmeena.

The parish of Aghagower comes within a mile of the town and so, any enquiry concerning Westport requires the records for each of these three parishes to be searched.

Scahills In Oughaval civil parish, 1856:

Bryan, Durless
Catherine, Deerpark West
James, Bellataleen, land in Murrisknaboll
Michael, Murrisknaboll, land in Bellataleen
Patrick, Murrisknaboll, land in Bellataleen and Carrowkeeran
Peter, Carrowkeeran
William, Fahburren

*Oughaval - Parish number 33 on the South Mayo Civil Parishes map.

Scahills In Kilmena civil parish, 1856:

John, Inishgort, Clew Bay

*Kilmena - Parish number 25 on the South Mayo Civil Parishes map.

Scahills In Aghagower civil parish, 1856:

Austin, Boheh
Edmond, Cordarragh South
John, Corveigh Lower, land in Codarragh South
Lawrence, Corveigh Lower
Francis, Knappagh More
Mary, Knappagh Beg

*Aghagower - Parish number 1 on the South Mayo Civil Parishes map.
