This will seem a little far fetched. The O'Flynn's in the 1850's lived in the Parish of Kiltullagh and were the only OFlynn's in Roscommon. this is on the western edge of the adjacent counties Mayo & Galway. There are three churches there and the Father is Joseph Feeney (094)9640155 Ballinlough
Granlahan, Cloonfad, St. Patrick's, Ballinlough
Church of Immaculate Conception

Parish Kiltullagh was in the Union of Castlerea. It is also
a Parish in Galway. This means, all parish, villages and towns within a 12 mile radius of Castlerea.

1894, two O'Flynn's Thomas and an Eliza were Publicans and grocers + James a carpenter

I checked the 1931 Directory but had no luck there.

By 1911 there are only 7 O'Flynn's in Roscommon all in one family living in Ballinlough (dedicated electoral district)
#4 Clooncalgy,
Catherine, 68 Widow, Farmer, born Roscommon
Edward 36 son, farmer
Ellen 36 daughter in law married 11 yr. 4 children born and
living
grandchildren
Mary Geneive age 9 born America
Eddie 7 born America
James Francis age 6
Michael Andrew 2

County Historical Societies often have journals that include gravestone inscriptions but probably none that would include names in 1992.

You could try the online telephone directory - residental section for Roscommon for OFlynn's still living in Roscommon. You could also try funeral directors under commercial/business. Addresses given are sufficient for delivery.

Roscommon cemetaries listed with
inscriptions I spotted a 1995 Kilglass Cemetary inscriptions, so you should go through these records. Also a Beirne 1965. There are also links to obituaries that are online but most appear to be pay websites and I have not used these myself.

www.roscommonherald.com You can email the editor to see if there are any archives of obituaries.

That's about all I can think of to help you in your search.
