JJ Gallagher:

The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Cloontuskert civil parish shows four Scally households in Gallagh. Head of households were John, John Jr., Peter and Thomas. Unfortunately, the RC parish records for the area do not start until 1865 so a baptismal record for Patrick would not be available.

Enjoy your trip to Ireland when you get the opportunity to travel.
