Hi,
The surnames of Ireland by Dr. Edward MacLysaght: O'Mescal, Mescal, variants Miskell. Gaelic: O'Meiscill. Mainly in County Clare with some in Counties Galway, Limerick and Waterford
For surnames in Ireland: see Tithe Applotments Records c1823 - 1837 and Census of Ireland 1901 @ www.nationalarchives.ie
For land records in the 1850's see www.askaboutireland.ie ; Griffith's Valuations
Regards,
McCoy
I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and there were only a few Philip Miskill (and variants) baptismal records.
1827 father Sylvester Co. Wexford
1844 father Patrick Co. Wexford
1847 father John Co. Limerick
