David Morrissy

Hi Paul,

The name "Morrissey" is spread across the South of Ireland, mainly in the Counties, Wexford to Limerick - www.nationalarchives.ie - Tithe Records 1823 - 1837

In Griffith Valuations - www.askaboutireland.ie  - taken 1840 - 1860 you will find the name is more widespread.

If you can find the book - "A History of Ireland in 250 Episodes"  it will give you a good idea about Ireland and its history, good and bad. It contains 560 pages of interesting reading and is published by www.gillbooks.ie  -  2008.

Hi Paul, Anhid is near Croom. 
GENUKI: Anhid, Limerick

By the time of Griffiths Valuation there isn't any Morrissy names listed.

This link may help, the Church records. look for Limerck then Croom.
Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI

Cheers
Margot

Thanks McCoy

I have ordered the book you recomended "A History of Ireland in 250 Episodes".

I logged into www.nationalarchives.ie - Tithe Records 1823 - 1837, typed in Tithe Records 1823 - 1837, no link, also tried Tithe Records without dates, no link. 

If you have any other advise / assistance, this will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Paul Morrissey

Thank you Margot,

I followed your advise and clicked into the link you provided, Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI, and will spend some time examining the 107 pages on

Marriages / Baptisms & Death from 1770 - 1844.

Wish there was a search engine that I could enter the name and it would automatically search the document for "Morrissy"  

If you have any other advise / assistance, this will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Paul Morrissey

Hi Paul,

Go to Genealogy and tick. This should show on the left hand side a list from 1901 census down. Click on Tithe Records.

I have just checked it out and it is working.

Best Wishes,

Hi McCoy,

I followed your instructions.

Only located one Morrissy family, in the census from 1821 - 1851 - Widow, 2 sons & 1 daughter from Atherny Galway.  

David & Pat  emigrated in 1855, born around 1827- 1832.

Kind Regards,

Paul

Hi,
I have been searching and the only Morrissy or Morrissey I found was this, see below.
On the actual ship record this all that is listed.
I hoping to see other names on that ship list, but none listed.
I will search again in other sites.
