Scully ancestry

Paddy:

I found an 1880 civil death index record in the Tuam registration district (which includes Killursa parish) for an Owen Scully. Not sure if this is your Owen but the year of birth makes sense based on your note. I also found an Owen Scully in the 1856 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Killursa parish. He was living in Ower townland. Again, not sure if this is your Owen.

You can get a copy of the death record from the General Register Office. If you live near Dublin, you can get the copy in person. The other option is to write to GRO in Roscommon. Insructions are below.

Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx In the middle of the page there are links for birth, marriage or death certificates. Hit the link for the form you want. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. (This is a program bug that the GRO has to correct). Hit cancel and the appropriate form should come up. Print the form and complete the requested information. Also provide the information from the index record--quarter/year of the event. registration district and the volume and page number where the event is recorded. Make sure you ask for a copy which costs around 4 euros. ( A cert costs closer to 20 euros). You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you.
