    There are no Offaly recods in the Irish censuses 1821-51

    There are 14 Spains in the Tithe Applotments (free online) 1823-27 including 2 from Drumcullen; there are 2 Scotts in Offaly

    There are 25 Spains in Griffiths Valuation (free) 1854 including 4 in Drumcullen; there are no Michaels & 3 John Scotts also

    There are no Michael Scott marriages in Offaly but there are 5 for John Scott 1831 to 1897

    I couldn't find any death/burial records matching the birth years you gave

  • hi, sorry ive only just logged on so apologies for the late reply, thank you for your information i have most of this already but not the marraiges forjohn scott so thats an avenue to look into, i suppose the main person is james scott and his wife mary usher who i cant figure any information on at all, its such a pity all our records were destroyed back in the civil war they would have been such a great help to us now, thank you again for your information and if i can be of any help to you in the future id be very happy to help in any way, take care, martin
