Found marriage1845 for Rose Mitchell & John McMorrow . Age and date fit. Found ship records New York Dec. 1848 as Rose McMorrow.  Next record 1852 Dunkirk New York birth of Daughter Isabella Baptism list Roseann Mitchell & John McMurry. Then 1854 in Erie Pennsylvania for daughter Alica  listing Rose A Mitchell And Joannes McNamara . 

So is the the same Rose A Mitchell and John McMorrow became John McNamara ?

I have no records list Rose & John McMorrow after the Dec. 1848 arrival to New York.

    I think you need to use sites like familysearch.org and Ancestry.com to try to clarify understand the connection between with John McMorrow and John McNamara in America.

    Roger, thanks for your reply. I'm a member of both sites. However I have been unable to confirm that the two Johns are one in the same person. Other than the records I previously  stated the only other record is John McNamara obit stating he was from Leitrim . I have no information regarding John"s & Rose's parents or siblings other than to guess based on their childrens names.

    Roger I only have suspicions based things in common  1 rose, 2 Leitrim 3 age.  John McMorrow disappears from all census records and John McNamara doesn't appear in the census till 1870 in my home town.  So Batism records  only information from 1848 arrivial till 1870 census. John & Rose children are James, Isabella , Alice Rose, Joseph, Francis & Mary  Local state 8 children 7 living.

    Roger  DNA has not produced any Mc connection or Ireland connections.

    I posted this just hoping for information that until now has eluded me.

    Again thanks for your reply.

    You probably considered this point but did John McMorrow chage his name to avoid detection? Just a thought.

  • Roger , that never crossed my mind. Anything is possible.  though the why is also a question. My real goal is to confirm McMorrow & McNamara are one in the same..  I just don't know how to accomplish it. John and Rose are a brick wall for me. Their parents and sibling are a complete mystery to me.

    Roger thanks again for your imput. Craig
