Surnames: MORRISSEY, DUNNE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/Hi1.2ACEB/339 Message Board Post: My great grandfather, Patrick MORRISSEY, was a lightweight boxer who supposedly made it to the USA from Dungarvon, Ireland and won the 'Golden Gloves'. He was also supposedly one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders! He came back to Dungarvon and married Bridget DUNNE (N Ireland) and they had 11 children including my grandmother, Mary Josephine MORRISSEY born in Dungarvon, County Waterford, Ireland in the 1920's. He was buried in St Mary's Church, Dungarvon. Does any one know any more about either the MORRISSEY family or DUNNE family?
