Hello List and Christina, I am a new member living in Toronto Canada. I am originally from Manchester England and have been using the internet and Rootsweb for about 5 years searching for various branches of my family. Interestingly enough I have found most of the branches are from Ireland, they arrived around the 1840's in to the Manchester and Salford area of Lancashire England. My family name I have since discovered was FITZMORRIS and was changed in England in 1856 to MORRIS. My names from Ireland are DONEGAN, JUDGE, SPENCER, FITZMORRIS and GAFFNEY. But some are from Kildare and others I don't know where they originated from. But the following JUDGE information might be of helped. I found this last week. My GGGrandmother Bridget JUDGE born 1833 was listed in the 1861 Salford, Lancashire, England census as being born in Roscommon. I eventually found she had a brother named Bernard born in Longford, Roscommon through the 1881 census for Hulme, Manchester, England. Her wedding certificate in Manchester shows her fathers name as William. Bernard her brother appeared to have used a naming pattern for his children and if this is correct its possible their mothers name was Elizabeth. From the above information can any List member say if they have come across this family in Roscommon? Kind regards Michael/Mike Morris Toronto Canada
