Hi, trying to help someone.
Any SCULLY's out there, who may be connected to:-

"My greatgrandfather Michael Scully was born in Kilmovee, Co. Mayo in 1863. His mother died in childbirth - not sure if his birth or a later child,- and when his father married again, he was sent to England with "Uncle Paddy" - not sure who this was as his own father is declared as Patrick on Michael's marriage certificate. He was about 9 when he came to England but I can find no trace (as it's between censuses) of who he lived with till the age of 18 when he joined the army (I have these records). After leaving the army (but returning I think to the local militia) he married my great grandmother, Helena Saunders in Haslingden . He worked as an "iron moulder".

His own living children were all female and known to me, so any remaining Scullys, if related, must be distant cousins I suspect.
It would be great to find out who "Uncle Paddy" was and whether there are remaining family in Lancashire or in Co. Mayo"

Thanks
