Alice, There are people researching this line. My great great grandfather, Joseph Morrissey, also came from Limerick, Ireland. He emigrated to St. John's, Newfoundland, where he married Ellen Kearney from Kilkenney, Ireland. They had at least 2 children, possibly 4. My great grandfather, John Morrissey, married Elizabeth Hennessey. He died at sea in ~ 1870. Any connection? -- "For whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved."
