I have a Dennis McMorrow listed in church record as witness to my great grandparents' wedding (Mary Cullen and Garret Keany, Upper Brockagh).
Her parents, as listed on her death certificate, were James McMorrow and Bessie McDonough. She may have had a brother named Owen. Census records said she could not read or write, but spoke English. There is a reference to Manorhamilton as a townland where she may have lived. I don't think it refers to the city Manorhamilton.

Thanks for the information about a McMorrow. I assume Upper Brokagh is a townland. Do you know what was the name of the church?
I have found a great resource for locating townlands, https://www.townlands.ie. It was created by someone with OpenStreetMap, the Wikipedia of maps, a map of the world being created entirely by volunteers. They traced all the townlands, all 61,000 of them, onto OpenStreetMap. Then they created a search function, so you can search for them by name, by parish and by county. I now know that many McMorrows were from County Fermanagh. Try it.
