Hello, Teresa I'm seeking information on John MORLEY, born May 1803, Waterford (St. Patrick's), Ireland. Is there any chance your MORLEYs connect to the Waterford MORLEYs? John MORLEY was a Private/Corporal in the British Army: 1st Regiment of Foot (2nd Battalion). He enlisted 25 May 1826 at Waterford and was discharged from service (due to illness) 18 June 1844 at Ennis Killen, Ireland. He served a total of 18+ years. Approx. 3 years were served in the East Indies and approx. 4 years in Canada. Any information on John MORLEY would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ros Davies Canada -----Original Message----- From: Teri100@aol.com [mailto:Teri100@aol.com] Sent: February 3, 2006 12:43 PM To: IRELAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRELAND] Surname puzzle Hi Pete Thanks, I hadn't thought that the first letter could be T but as you said it does look similar to the T to the right of painter. You can't tell on the picture but it is the begining of "The mark of". The father's name does look like Adrienne but I think it's Edwin, spelt with two ns & with a squiggle on the end, I'm not sure why it's spelt like that, but on the other certificate he's down as Edward, (Edwin was the name I was looking for). Thank you so much for having a look, I'll try Threetop and see what I can come up with. Best wishes Teresa ______________________________
