On Ann's death cert, Catherine is listed as mother and father as Ohin (Owen) O'Rourke. Ann was married to my Great Grandfather Patrick Maher. Now---I don't know if any of the Morriseys were from the Doon area, but a bunch of families from the Doon area ended up in Goodhue County, Minnesota. These included Mahers, Franklins, O'Rourkes, O'Reillys, Bentons and probably some others whom I don't recall at the moment. I'm fairly sure that my Mahers were from the Doon area, and Griffiths shows Mahers (I think Patrick) in Balboa townland. I'd have to look that up. I think all these folks were from that general area. My paternal Great grandfather, Martin Franklin was from the townland of Commanealine, (Tipperary), when he married Bridget Kirby in 1862. Bridget was from townland of Foilycleara (Limerick).
