Peter is the g.g grandson of Thomas Morrissey from Ballymakea. We are travelling to Ireland again later this year and staying for a week in the area to look at places where they lived and find out more. We have a great interest in this wonderful family, who married into the Ryan family via Thomas'daughter Mary. They were all early pioneers of the Clarence Valley and we are very proud of them. We are farmers ourselves and have an interest in heavy horses and carriage driving, imagine our delight to find the Morrisseys built carriages! We would love to get in touch with you again. Our personal email is [email protected] Our family tree on Ancestry is now private but open to other family members if they wish, just ask.
