My 3rd great grand father James Morrow 1769 - died bef. 1843, was married to Elizabeth or Rebecca Robinson 1770 - died bef. 1843. Their children that I know of were; George 1789 - 1856, Mary Jane 1790 - ?, Joseph 1800 - ?, William1804 - ? and Robinson, my 2nd great grand father, 1805 - 1841 who died on the voyage out to Australia. These people apparantly resided around the Dungannon Tyrone area.
What I am trying to find is a relationship between James 1769 and another James Morrow abt 1755 - 1827 married to Jane (Stewart?). Their son James Morrow 1777 - died bef. 1844 married to Isabella McCurdy 1777 - 1867 who resided in the Clones Monaghan district. They all died in Ireland except Isabella who with most of the offspring from both families migrated to Australia. James and Isabella's children were; James 1804 - 1867, Elizabeth 1806 - ?, William 1808 - 1874, John 1811 - 1871, Thomas 1815 - 1870, Joseph 1817 - 1857, Alexander 1819 - 1896, Robert 1821 - 1870 and David 1823 - 1857.
Does anyone have informarion that can connect these two families?
