research notes

While researching Unsourced Profiles: I believe the following are sources for this person, but I cannot definitively confirm it. I think they are because name , William H. Scollay, fits with birthdate and birthplace (1849, New York), and the family was living in Waterbury, Connecticut, where William’s daughter was later born. Also, his daughter and a sister shared the same name (Mary Elizabeth). NOTE: surname is seen as Scollay, Scollay, and Scully. Could not find anything on this family on findagrave.

Can you add anything to confirm or deny these sources, or anything else to improve this profile?
