SCARRY moved from Glennamaddy to Mitchelstown, Co Cork in about 1900and
several children and current grandchildren remain in various parts of England and
USA. My wife was named SCARRY and we have found that over 132 names were

emigrated in 1900 or thereabouts. When last in Galway library I found that the
SCARRY name was, possibly, one of the original tribe names in Galway and is very
ancient. A John SCARRY currently resides in Woodfield, Glennamaddy but does not
appear to be from the same family line as my wife. We have identified the land area,
which was rented to John SCARRY in 1855, but it has long since been sold and is
now occupied by a larger farming operation. We have been unable to trace any
records prior to 1855 and there do appear to be some discrepancies with Christian
