On May 13, 1825 John Morrissey aged 40 and his wife Catherine 34 along with their children John 17, Mary 13, Bridget 11 ,Edward 8 , Margaret 5, and Daniel 3, sailed from Cork on a ship named the Star. #178 Captain Roberts. I believe them to be from Croon, County of Limerick . John (Senior) was a reduced farmer. They left for Upper canada on the Peter Robinson relocation project. John died in Canada In Emily Township, the following year September 2 nd 1826. We still live in Emily township to this day. My sisters Wendy , Penny and niece Stevie and myself Connie, aged 50 will be landing in Dublin on June 30 , 2013 and will spend 2 weeeks enjoying all Ireland has to offer. We would love to meet family or at least find out what happened to them and where they live today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help; Connie

Hi Connie,
If you go to the irishfamilyhistoryfoundation website you will find all the parish records. Its free to join and you only pay to view the records.
i put in john morrisseys name with 1810 date and gradually refined . You need to go to limerick genealogy centre and scroll down through the parishes. I found John b. 1807 with father name JOhn. I then just swapped John's name for Mary Bridget etc and found them all in a parish called Fedamore. Daniel was born in a parish called Patrickswell.
All the records are there to view.
Hope this is of some help to you,
KInd regards,
Anne K Dennehy
