Hello!? I am researching a Maurice/Morris Somers who emigrated to Massachusetts in about 1849 from Ireland, county of birth unknown.? If you think your Elizabeth might have had a great-uncle Maurice/Morris who went to America around that time, please contact me at magilliganlass@aol.com.? Thanks!

Briefly:- I have knowedge of dates and family events for my SOMERS forebears - going back to the latter half of the 18th century, but while the more famous and infamous events covering their lives are well known, I want to put 'flesh onto their bones'. My paternal grandmother ELIZABETH SOMERS (latterly Summers in England) was born and baptised in Wexford Town (Westgate) in 1863, one of 6 children, to PATRICK SOMERS, a mariner, and ELIZA CATHERINE LUCKING. I know something of Patrick's father and grandfather (respectively Peter and Patrick, baptised in 1798 and, at a guess, 1766). I have done some research into the Lucking (Lucken) family, and know of my relationship with Kathleen. Many thanks in inticipation!
