I am trying to trace my husband's ggg/father Henry Morrow, he was born around 1842 in Co. Cavan and his father was Thomas Morrow. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Hello Jocette,
What denomination were the Morrow family? Were they members of the Catholic faith, the Established Church (Anglicans or Church of Ireland), Methodists or possibly Presbyterians?
You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

Hello there, I too are tracing Morrow's from County Cavan, a Jane Morrow born about 1852, her marriage certificate doesn't state parents names, so a bit of sticky ending. Perhaps you have a Jane in your research?

Are you related to Henry Morrow of the townland Graddum, near Ballyjamesduff? Many from this branch went to Australia.
Or are your part of the Morrow family that went to Porirua, NZ in late 1890s?
I am related to many of the MORROWs around Bjduff, my Morrows are from Clare and Derrylurgan, just outside Bjduff. My relatives went to Winnipeg, Canada in 1901 and Peterborough, Ontario in early 1840s.
Let me know some details---have been researching these lines in Canada and Ireland for over 25 years.

Hi ya Lyz ;)
Great to hear from you, to be honest I do not know where in Cavan she comes from, Ballyjamesduff could be correct, but without knowing her parents or otherwise I am stumped. She had a sister Mary Ann, they both came out to New Zealand on a ship called Zealandia. (That is presuming they are them on the list)
Her Marriage Cert, just says Co. Cavan. I have recently ordered a copy of her death certificate, perhaps that will give me some clues.
In saying that though, I was in Ireland last November and I made a visit to Ballyjamesduff (because we got lost!!) and I remember saying to my husband that this feels like home!! perhaps a gut feeling!!
But any info you may have that could fit in, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again ;D
Regards

If you don't get much information from her death certificate it might be worth getting Mary Ann's (or perhaps a marriage certificate) to see if any details of parents are given.

Hi ya...good point!! der!! why didn't I think of that :-[
Cheers ;)

Hi Keeweegal:
To help you, I need the following info on your MORROWs:
1. Mary Anne and Jane--birth and death dates-get from certificates, and on their marriage cert, who were witnesses? sometimes are relatives.
2. Also need names of their husbands, can be another clue as they may be from Cavan.
2. Look at their children's names--many first son's and daughters followed a naming pattern from "the old country" and may show the parents/ grandparents names.
3. What religion were they? I have some early Methodist, Presby and Ch of Ireland records for Bjduff that I researched in Belfast a few years back.
4. Look at ship manifest for "Zealandia"and see other names from County Cavan , or Ireland (sometimes dthey did not list their home)-most "ladies" at the time travelled with a male, or in a group.
3. What town did they settle in in NZ? Where their names in the local newspaper--check this out also. I have some Morrow lines on the north island, and around Christchurch.
4. I would dig up as much as you can on the NZ end before jumping the pond--the Cavan Genealogy Research Centre does a great job--you pay for it, but they are efficient. Hope this helps...
Cheers

Hi Lyz and all ;)
Have just received the death cert for Jane Morrow ex County Cavan, it is noted that her parents were Sarah Curry and Alexander Morrow. She married John Gunning Herron in an Anglican Church, Christchurch, NZ, so I presume she was that Religion, or perhaps she could have changed.
Unfortunately that is all the info I can muster, I cannot locate her parents in Ireland, but being relatively new to this, I imagine I've missed something.
Perhaps you can come up with something, when you have time available. ;D

Dear Lyz, I have been trying for some time to contact the family of a Charles Morrow who I believe lives/d in Canada. His mother was a Stephens born 1907. Her parents were George Stephens born 1856 in Rockfield, Killeshandra, Cavan and an Anna Gordon - I think also from Cavan. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mike

Jane's father Alexander Morrow came out to NZ with her.

Any Civil Reg for them or anyone from BJDuff would come under Oldcastle Reg District.
I did this Search on https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
which is the Irish Govt BDM Website where one can get any Certs for free.
One needs to solve Captcha....and can then use Initials to sign in to get Certs. No Sub required!
Link to Morrows in Oldcastle REG DISTRICT http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ogh/
Solve the captcha and sign in to view Certs
_____________________________________
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/civil-records/help/what-civil-records-are-on-line explains years covered etc.
_____________________
https://www.swilson.info/regdistmap.php gets one Reg Districts in any County by using first dropdown box
Attached are those for Co Cavan.
________________________________
One can amend Search as needed for other Districts or Surnames etc on
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
Some with Returns Page No do not have Images yet so one can check again in future to see if any have been updated.
Birth Certs give Father plus Mother's maiden name which one checks to get siblings,

If one only knows names of couple one can search
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
for their Marriage just by putting one name and year range in and tick Marriage box
no need to fill all boxes then look through results
As a result one gets the Marriage Cert for George Stephens Cavan and Anna Gordon (as per PDF attached) with name of father, address etc
Then adjust search to look for her Birth or siblings marrying etc
