Ireland / Thomas Morrissey & sisters Murphy & Gorman in Ballacolla
« on: Tuesday 27 September 11 22:07 BST (UK)  »
Looking for any info on Thomas Morrissey and his sisters Molly Murphy and Kate Gorman.  I know Molly & Kate both lived in Ballacolla, but not sure if they came from Freshford or Wexford  (large family and opinion divided between the two places).  Their father was James Morrissey and he was a shepherd, as stated on the marraige cert of Thomas Morrissey to Ellen Dove in 1914.  I don't know their mothers name - unfortunately no-one knows their mothers name

Thomas was born c1877, not sure if Molly and Kate were younger or older.  Molly married a Paddy  (Patrick?) Murphy and Kate married Michael Gorman.  places and dates not known.

Thomas is the line I am following, I know he settled in Newcastle Upon Tyne when married.  I know Molly and Paddy had no children so am hoping there may be some Gormans out there that might be able to help me

Have tried to find them all together in 1901 and 1911 census but with no luck.  I know that James was still living when Thomas married.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Rg

Can I introduce myself as another member of the UK Francis Clan!!

Like Angela I also trace back  (with the help of Angela and a few others) to Henry Francis 1804.  He is my g-g-g-grandfather. He had 5 sons

Charles b. 1822 (my g-g-grandfather)
Thomas b. 1828
Solomon b.1831
Isaac b. 1839
Henry b. 1841

Charles  1822, married Catherine Maguire in 1849 and they went on to have 7 children

Henry b 1849
Thomas b.1851
Charles b. 1856 (my g-grandfather)
Isaac b. 1859
John b. 1862
Isabella b. 1865
James b.1868

Charles 1856 married Margaret Anne Smith (not traveller Smiths) in 1896, sneaking suspicion this may have been his second marriage.  They went on to have 3 sons

Charles b. 1893
James William b. 1895 (my grandfather)
Thomas b. 1898

Margaret went on to marry a second time to Thomas Leake in 1904 and was listed as a widow on the marriage certificate. She then moved to Edinburgh with her son Thomas whose name was changed to Leake and went on to have 4 children with Thomas Leake senior.

Charles 1893 died in Edinburgh in 1918 aged 24, he was listed as a war pensioner and cause of death was chest/lung related so I surmise it was the trench warfare that did for him.

Thomas 1898 died in 1916 in Egypt in the military campaign there.

James William 1895 married Margaret Murphy in 1919, they went on to have 7 children

Margaret  1920 -1948
James 1922-1994
Aileen 1928-2006
Catherine1930-2007
Charles 1932 - to date
Thomas 1937- 1995 (my father)
John 1938-1939

If you find any of this useful please let me know.  I am finding the info you have posted facinating

Kind regards

Jutta

Hi Angela

Up until last week - I had virtually nothing.  Was contacted by Jeff Johnson who lead me to Denise.  I am waiting for a reply from a Steven Francis (?) who also has a tree on Ancestry.  Have seen a Robert on different boards but not made contact.

Denise has been great with the info she has provided, up till that point I got as far as the marriage between Charles Francis and Margaret Ann Smith, in Sunderland in 1896.  They had two sons, Charles and James William.  I have a sneaking suspicion there was a third called Thomas and think his name changed to Leake after Margaret's marraige to Thomas Leake  (he was 13 years old on the 1911 census in Edinburgh). 

Charles Francis died in 1918  as a war pensioner at the age of 24 - he married Margaret McIntyre in 1916.  James William  (Willy) was my grandfather and died in 1960 at the age of 65.  He married yet another Margaret and they went on to have Margaret, James, Eileen, Catherine, Charles, Thomas and John.  Thomas is my dad.

With such an abundance of James', Charles' and Thomas', then there is the Isaacs, Henry's and Solomon's, it is so easy to get muddled.  Doesn't help when there is a 10 year difference between records!!

I look forward to hearing from you again

Hi Angela

Am also researching the Francis line from Henry  (though for me he is a very recent find!!).

Just found out about the Tinker connections which I think is answering a few questions for me.  Am also in touch with one or two others researching this line.

Kind regards

Jutta
