What is recorded here
Richard Scannell is a birthplace in Cloyne, County Cork, Ireland. Perhaps the boy born there in 1845 listened for God's voice in the quiet before he ever entered a cathedral. Maybe his childhood streets still echo with the footsteps of a child becoming a bishop.
Why this person is known: Catholic bishop (1845–1916)
