Re William Grimes' query about Tipperary my great-grandfather William Morrissey was from Templemore, Tipperary, although I cannot find any birth record. The biggest grouping of Morrisseys from the Norman French line seems to be around Waterford. My gg finally settled in Newcastle on Tyne, England after long service in the British Army. I'm looking for connections to John Morrissey in the same Regiment, b. 1830, enlisted 1848 at Templemore, discharged for mutiny and sentenced to 4 years "penal servitude" in 1858 on the island of Barbados. No trace thereafter. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 30 March 2007 08:01 To: [email protected] Subject: MORRISSEY Digest, Vol 2, Issue 26 Today's Topics: 1.

My GG was William and his bro's were Pat, Dan and Mike.They spelled it MORRISSEY except William, who always spelled his name with one "S". Always. But all of his children and his wife always used two "S". The whole family is buried in Mt Olivet cemetery in Elkhorn, with 7 of the 8 kids, and a nice big stone says "MORRISEY" and it was erected by the last kid to die, Lizzy. She left a note which said "I am having the name on the stone spelled with one "S" for daddy's sake. He always said, being the youngest of those boys, they picked on him a lot, and kicked the "S" out of him." Slainte, Tim [email protected] wrote: >Hello, >I am the daughter of Richard J.

I suspect some of the reason is not every one could read or write when then came to the USA in 1850. (Of course, that is another mystery as I have found them on a ship manifest via New Orleans in 1850 with some members of the family listed Morrisy, some Morisy, etc., but on the 1900 census some give the arrival date as 1846 and some 1850. The two years also appear on various naturalization records and in a civil war pension file. Did some members of the family come in 1846 and then return to Ireland to come again in 1850 with the entire family? Or is it simply that some of the dates are wrong?) In the 1850 census the family is listed as Marsey (imagine how the name would be said with the Irish accent). In 1860 the family is Morsee. After that is is always either Morrissey or Morrisey. Unfortunately (as far as current spelling goes) the only member of the family to marry AND have children was my Great Grandmother, Catherine Morrissey, so there are no living members with the name Morrissey.

I am unsure where these places are located on a map, I'm unsure if this 2nd wife was moved around so many times, giving birth to each different child in a diferent palce.
