Looking for the surname MORRISSEY, and spelling variants MORISEY, MORRISEY or MORRISSY who attended or graduated from Maynooth Seminary College, between 1774-1834.

My g-grandfather Michael Morrissey was said to have attended Maynooth College but I have been unable to confirm the information. He was born ca 1814 possibly in County Limerick, married 6 October 1850 in St Michael's R C Church in Limerick City (so he didn't graduate) came to America shortly thereafter. He settled in Philadelphia, PA, had 10 children, owned and operated an excavating business and died on 3 December 1909. I have found his name spelled many different ways. It would be interesting if you could confirm our family story. On Feb 28, 2007, at 7:42 PM, Victor D.

Hi Patricia, Do you have any information re Michael's siblings? The reason I am asking is that my Ancestor James Morrissey's father was Michael and his first child born in Limerick was also Michael. James married Catherine O'Donnell in Limerick RC Church and after Michael was born 1852 the family migrated to Australia 1853. We have been unable to trace this family back any further.

Lucille, I'm sorry, I don't have any information on Michael's siblings. The only info I have comes from the marriage of Michael and Mary Hewitt. The marriage took place on 6 October 1850 in St. Michael's RC Church in Limerick City. The witnesses were a William Hewitt - maybe the father or brother of the bride, and a Hannah O'Brien - maybe a relative of the groom, but that's a guess on my part. I also have been unable to trace the family any further.
