Richard Scott Family

Hi All.

I seem to have hit a dead end in my family tree research on this particular branch. My 4th Great Grandfather is Richard Scott and my 4th Great Grandmother was Mary (Cahill)Scott.

Richard Scott was born in County Limerick, Ireland on or about 1814 and died on July 28, 1879 in Eagan, MN.

Mary (Cahill)Scott was born in Ireland on or around 1815 and died 1852 in Canada. Her parents were Thomas Cahill and Elizabet Scanlon.

Richard and Mary had a daughter names Honora Scott born in Limerick in 1836 and died in Minnesota in 1922.

I do not have any information on Richard Scott's parents or any additional information on Mary's parents. If anyone has any info or can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Nicolle

Thank you.  I found some info on Mary Sheehy, but not sure if that is his mother that I found.  I show her born in 1785 and death in 1871.  But I cannot find a site where I can find her birth or baptism record or his father george either. I think the Sheehy family has been in Limerick since like he early 1400's so I would think there should be some info out there.  If anyone could point me to a website that coud help me, that would be greatly apprecaited.

This is the only record for Mary Shehhy on www.rootsireland.ie/ (payment required)

findmypast.ie is free at the moment

national library of Ireland has RC registers free but you need to know the parish

Hi Nicole

Do you know of a Fr. Richard Scott who was a Catholic priest in Limerick in the 19th century?
