Now there are two of us. But we are not related. If you are interest in getting your DNA tested join a project. If you are male Morrissey join this project. I got the 67 markers done. Probably over kill.

You could do 37, 25 or 12 markers. If you sign up with a project, the price is a little lower. I did not start this project, another Mike Morrissey did. My DNA is the first one with James Morrissey b.c. 1800 County Waterford.

Still looking for the wife of Laurence Morrissey. She was originally Mary Mahoy and was married to Joseph Schaeffer sometime before 1890 until Joseph's death in 1891.

David Morrissey — 9 May 2006 9:16:58 GMT

Desperately seeking (!) connections to my great-grandfather William Morrissey of Templemore, Tipperary, Ireland. He was born between 1825 and 1833, married Sarah Sweeney at Templemore 1850. He served in the British Army from 1846 to 1869. On his discharge the family moved to Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Over part of that period there was a John Morrissey in the Regiment (court martialed and discharged 1858), also born Templemore, but I don't know if they were related. William's father may have been named Walter, but I don't know any more, so information on him would be very interesting. Possible connections to the Mackie family.

John Morrissey of Templemore, Tipperary

@@ncle@freeuk.com — 9 Oct 2006 9:09:29 GMT

.
Seeking help to trace a line on John Morrissey, sentenced to 4 years “penal servitude” in May 1858 at his Court Martial in Barbados on 21 May 1858. Enlisted (49th Foot) 28 October 1848 at Templemore, Tipperary, age 18. No further trace so far although I believe it was the custom at that time for the prisoner to be handed over to the civil authority as he was also discharged from the Army on sentencing. This was the same British regiment in which my gr.grandfather William Morrissey served, at the same time- - maybe related, but no evidence.

Saunders Co, Nebraska Morrissey's

Patti — 5 Nov 2004 8:40:59 GMT

Am looking for information on Edward Morrissey who was a farmer near Yutan in Saunders Co. He was born in Ireland in the 1850's, immigrated about 1881 and he died in 1948. His wife was Mary Dwyer. Known children were:
Margaret
John Lawrence
Edward
Anna
William H.
Julia

Edward and his sister Mary Hannan are noted as out of town visitors at the 1913 funeral of another Edward Morrisey in Galesburg, IL. Given the age spans of the people involved, I believe that Ed in Galesburg was an uncle to the ones in Nebraska. They must have been closely related if they traveled 400 miles in 1913 for the funeral. I do know for sure they were not his own children.

Mary Hannan also married her husband William 1885 in Galesburg, IL.

BasketLady420 — 30 Jan 2006 4:33:42 GMT

Patrick Morrissey, hanged for murdering his mother on September 6, 1872, and Jack Gaffney, hanged for murdering a bar patron on February 14, 1873, hold a unique place in history as they were hanged by a man who went on to become the President of the United States. At this time the law designated the County Sheriff to be the executioner and carry out the order of the court. The Sheriff of Erie County was Grover Cleveland.

I am not related to this family, I'm just passing on this information, which comes from a webpage titled "Regional Studies Northeast." The link for the site is listed below.

Mary and Patrick Morrisey

rosemaling — 7 Feb 2003 6:38:55 GMT

Mary Morrisey came to U.S.A. from Ireland when she was 17 or 18 years. She married John O'Hare in Illinois or Wisconsin. They had 3 children, Margaret, James and John. Mary's husband, John O'Hare was killed in the Civil War. The children were then adopted by their Uncle, Patrick Morrisey of Appleton WI. (1970 Outgamie Co WI Census, 43, born Ireland, wife Margaret.) Living next door to Patrick in the 1870 census is evidently his father, Patrick Morrisey (83 yrs b. Ireland) and his wife Ellen.
Mary Morrisey later married James O'Connor, and after he died, John Summers. Mary Morrisey O'Hare's daughter later married George Greenwood, and they lived in Menominee County, Michigan; and Wood and Marinette Counties Wisconsin; and eventually out to Centralia, Washington.

Does anyone know where the Morriseys were from in Ireland?
Thank you.

Timothy Morrissey - Waukau, Wisconsin - Great newspaper article

JeanieWeddle79 — 12 Oct 2005 12:24:46 GMT

Ancestry.com Newspaper article:
Historical Newspapers > "Oshkosh Daily Northwestern" (Oshkosh, Wisconsin) > 1969 > February > 8, page 15; (Ancestry.com image #7.)

If you descend from a Timothy Morrissey family that settled in or near Waukau, Wisconsin, there is a wonderful family history feature article on this family. They emigrated from Ireland.

I do not do research on this family but thought I should post this message since it is such a thorough and family history-filled article. It is a MUST read if you have this surname.

The family, as best as I can determine, has these people in it:
Timothy Morrissey (arrived in US about 185. He fled Ireland with four brothers. He married Sybil RODNEY. Children: Tim, Anna (Sister M. Giovanna); Nellie, William, Rodney, James, Mary (James & Mary = Twins), Sybil m. Lark BETRY, George, & dau. who died in her teens.

Family offiliated with a HANNON family.

John Morrissey (lived west of Waukau) -Children: Peter, Dennis, Mary.

James Bodley Morrissey (m. Hannah O' BRIEN) - 13 children.

Michael Morrissey (affiliated with WILEY family)

Timothy had a Great Granddaughter named Sara Jane Morrissey. Affiliated with MCLAREN family.

I hope this helps some of you.

Morrissey/Kennedy

Denise Quinn — 29 Aug 2005 2:43:43 GMT

My greatgrandparents were MARY KENNEDY who married PATRICK WHITE at Windgap, Kilkenny in 1858. The Kennedy and White families were from the townland of Bawnreigh on the Kilkenny/Tipperary border. Mary's sister was ELLEN KENNEDY born about 1850.
ELLEN KENNEDY married THOMAS MORRISSEY on 17 November, 1872 at Windgap. Thomas was a constable. Some of the children of Ellen and Thomas were
Lawrence born 1873, Edmund born 1875, Mary Anne born 1876 and Catherine born 1878. Other siblings may have been Thomas, John and Monica.
I think Thomas Morrissey may have been transferred to Kilcool in Wicklow then finally moved to Dublin.
I would like help with any information on this family.

Glenn Robinson / Morrissey

omgwlf — 27 Jul 2005 11:23:40 GMT

any info, please email omgwlf@yahoo.com ... i think Glenn's parents were Donald Robinson and Anna Morrissey who died when Glenn was young -- he, was then raised by his grandparents and given the family name, Morrissey -- which should be connected to John and Catherine Morrissey.
Glenn Robinson Morrissey (if alive) should be near 70 years of age and may reside in the NV / CA area

Am told he has children (# unknown) with a T.Bordes of NY -- marital status unknown -- and with Judith Gail Burrell of PA.
I would be the result of that union, his daughter, Robin L Morrissey -- born 9/19/66, Anaheim, CA.

any information greatly appreciated ... even a gravesite if Glenn has already passed away ... thank you in advance.

Some of the children born to Thomas and Ellen were Lawrence born 1873, Edmund born 1875, Mary Anne born 1876 and Catherine born 1878. I think this family then moved to Co. Wicklow and then to Dublin.
Lawrence married at Rathmines, Dublin to Teresa Mulroney.

John Morrissey and Catherine Baxter

dubblj — 21 Jul 2004 1:22:11 GMT

Hi, I've hit a wall that I can't seem to break through. I am trying to find any and all information on John Morrissey who married Catherine Baxter. The information I have is sketchy but we believe he was born in Ireland and was the first of our ancestors that immigrated to Canada. We think he must have ended up in New Brunswick as what information we have on their children show them being born in St. John New Brunswick. We believe he was born in or right around 1814 and died in December of 1894. I have no idea where Catherine came from or any birth or death dates. Family information shows three children, Edmund A., Thomas (born 11/3/1861), and James Jeremiah (born 12/4/1868). What little record I've been able to find online also show a son by the name of John. Descendants of these Morrissey's left Canada and settled in central MA. Any and all leads are welcomed!

James/Bridget Morrissey - born in Ireland, lived in CT

JayneC9719 — 11 Apr 2004 5:23:47 GMT

My research shows that James and Bridget both came over from Ireland in 1850. James would have been 20 and Bridget 21. They lived in New Milford, Litchfield County, CT in 1860 with children John, James, Mary & William. I found them there in 1900 with son James. Their son, John (b:~1854), at some point, moved to Waterbury, CT and married Mary Lynch. They raised their family in Waterbury - children Charles (my grandfather, born ~1886), George, Francis and Harold.

I can't find any info on where my ancestors came from in Ireland. Mary is buried in Waterbury with her children, but I don't have info on husband John. Maybe with his parents, James and Bridget in New Milford?

Do these names sound familiar to anyone out there?

Patrick Morrissey B:IRE~1828 lived in Connecticut

JayneC9719 — 10 Apr 2004 7:14:19 GMT

Looking for info on my ancestors. From what I have found, Patrick came from Ireland before 1860. The 1860 census shows him living in Hartford, CT with wife Hannah and 1 yr old son, John, along with an older couple (parents?), Michael and Mary. I show him there until 1880. I believe son, John, moved to Waterbury, CT and married Mary (Lynch?). According to the 1910 census, they had children Charles (my grandfather), George, Francis and Harold, who all grew up in Waterbury. I have visited the cemetery in Waterbury but my grandfather died when my dad was 1 yr old (1919), so we don't know much about this side of the family. Does this sound familiar to anyone out there?
