11. Patrick SCAHILL-495
CHRISTENING: Film No. 1279211, Baptisms, Date: 1 Jan 1872 Sponsers:Edward & Mary Scahill
Hand written note in the original Baptism book said " Patrick marriedCatherine Haston on 3 Feb 1909 at Castlebar Co Mayo"
BIOGRAPHY: The placename Prospect:
Prospect lies about five miles to the south west of Westport town in
theeastern foothills of Croagh (pronounced - crow) Patrick. As a local
placename, it refers to the townland of Fahburren, and to a certain
extent, some of the surrounding townlands.
It takes its name from ahouse in Fahburren - PROSPECT - so called because
of its elevated siteand extensive views over Clew Bay. This house was
occupied by theBuchanans, a local landlord family. On Ordnance Survey
maps, it is evident that the name Prospect applies to this house and
its private estate only, but, over time the name has come to replace
the older townland name Fahburren and so, though not officialy recognised
as a townland name by the O.S., the name is well known and used extensively
in the locality. In offical documentation the placename Fahburren would
be used, whereas in local conversation etc., Prospect would be used
to describe the same locality.
