Wexford / Re: 1840s DUBLIN Ireland MORRISON'S

The little boy belonged to Holton's brother James who had five children. Holton was a professional uncle. He spent a lot of his time living in Smithfield, Dublin and sharing his home with three of his nieces, daughters all of them of his sisters in law.

Nice to find someone else who has tried. My family consider me to be nuts.

I've got all that and it makes fascinating reading. I'm just exasperated that I can't discover which of Simpson Gabriel Morrison's daughters Holton Davin married. Granted, the only one available is Hannah and she's the right age but she doesn't seem to exist anywhere. Trouble is that I'm a determined researcher and I can't let it go.

So maybe he's in Mount Jerome but even if he is, I know when and where he died and I guess his wife may not be listed. He's just so interesting and I want to know who and what made him tick.

Unlikely. He never went back after he'd moved to Dublin. He was like a man who moves to London and never leaves. Dublin was home. Mount Jerome maybe or the place at Glasnevin.

I've tried that. He was a widower before 1901 and finding where he was buried is proving difficult. I suspect an extended trip to Dublin might be on the cards. How I do curse those who destroyed the records. Life would be so easy if there were more census records.

Can any of you lot tell me which of the daughters of Rev. Simpson Gabriel Morrison married Holton Davin? I know a lot about the Morrisons but I can't find this one fact. There was a daughter Hannah, born in 1856 and it could be her but I'm not prepared to accept supposition.
