and : http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/search_the_archives/will_calendars/wills_search.htm
Wills can provide useful info, if only to rule out a possible ancestor.

sorry, repeat, Jim
-
however the quantity of Morgans in the area Lecale is worth viewing at www.lecalehistory.co.uk/1901/pageM9.htmand identifies a household of Curoe

There is a manuscript family tree of Morgans in the Blackwood Family history manuscript trees vol 3 page 62- in the LinenHall library, Belfast. However this may not be your tree atall. I suggest visit first, if not you could ask them for photocopying estimates if they think your knowledge relevant and you should be prepared to pay a fee for copying, post and packing, and perhaps some staff time and overheads. However if the material is really relevant when you get it, I suggest a further donation to this unique library that is always needing extra funds Linen Hall Library,17 Donegall Square North, Belfast BT15GB, Northern Ireland, Telephone: +44 (0)28 9032 1707, Fax: +44 (0)28 9043 8586, Email: <irish.reference[at]linenhall.com>.replace the [AT] with the symbol please
So over to you,lots of luck, Jim

Hi Edenreaghbeg, I'm also researching the Curoe family, mine are from Killough Co Down. You have a Eliza married to a Arthur Morgan, are you sure about that, as I can only find a Eliza Curoe married to a Samuel Ross in 1873, although her name was spelt Currie.RosDavies site also states that it is a Samuel Ross she married, Her fathers was a Patrick. My Curoe's were mariner's William, born abt 1834 his father was a William too and also a mariner. Wish you all the luck in your search.
-
Sorry Maura Iv'e only realised my error this is what happens when I take on too many projects at the same time
Yes you are correct my Grandmother, Susan Ross's bapt cert shows she was born in 1885 in killough she had a brother, Robert.her Father was Samuel Ross ,Killough her Mother was Eliza Curoe
Susan ross married John Morgan son of arthur Morgan and Annie Dobbin -- there that is correct
Sorry about that
-
Is this as far as you've got, do you have Eliza & Samuels marriage or Annie and Arthurs, if not I might be able to help you there.
-
thanks Maura08 i dont have that info yet I only started about a week ago on the Morgan.Curoe tree
-
I'll send you a pm later today
-
Did I read that you were searching Phillips?
Mine came from Ballmacarrat, Knockbreda, Belfast.
-
No !!!
-
My Phillips lived in County Antrim, Parish of Maghergall, Townlands Ballyclough and Ballynadolly and were Roman Catholic.
-
Mine seem to have ties in the Lambeg area also.
I just don't have enough Irish info.
Mine moved to Liverpool in 1857.
-
Sorry there seems to be a misunderstanding I am researching Morgan /Curoe
NOT Phillips as far as I am aware there are no connections between the Morgans Curoe and Phillips
-
I think the problem me Edenreaghbeg, I am researching the Phillips family, but unfortunately I can't help either chicagO or joaned as I don't know where in Ireland they came from.
