This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: MORRISSEY; SWEENEY; MACKIE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Hi1.2ACEB/345 Message Board Post: Desperately seeking (!) connections to my great-grandfather William Morrissey of Templemore, Tipperary, Ireland. He was born between 1825 and 1833, married Sarah Sweeney at Templemore 1850. He served in the British Army from 1846 to 1869. On his discharge the family moved to Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Over part of that period there was a John Morrissey in the Regiment (court martialed and discharged 1858), also born Templemore, but I don't know if they were related. William's father may have been named Walter, but I don't know any more, so information on him would be very interesting. Possible connections to the Mackie family.
