Waterford / Re: Samuel Thomas Morton - Clonegam Church, Portlaw, Waterford
« on: Saturday 31 August 24 10:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Thanks for the links, This is something I dip into from Time to Time, The previous posts and relplies helped me greatly. I am concentrating on the period of 1800 to 1855 and the lives and deaths  of the Mortons in the Carrick, Clonmel and Portlaw area where I have found their roots. Still looking for Peter Gallateley the distiller and any marriage info on Edward and Martha but I think I need to visit the area to glean further. here's hoping, thanks again.

The family were not catholic, the 2 marriages were in Protestant churches, st Nicholas in Carrick on suir and the Scots church in Clonmel. Clonagam is a country church serving mixed denomination, so I’m pretty sure they were not Catholic. The baptism for Samuel in Clonagam, references his mother Martha and father Edward Morton as working on the Curraghmore Estate. The siblings both died in England the. Fanny married the soldier who was later wounded at the battle of the Redan, they secured employment at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Hound, Hampshire, Fanny is buried in Hampshire and I have traced her family to the present, Johnston moved to Birkenhead with his first wife and after a bigamy and a further marriage bore my grandfather and died in Liverpool. I am his direct descendant. I’m just interested in the Ireland phase of their lives and that of the career of Edward Morton he is referenced as a Sergeant in the Irish Constabulary on one marriage certificate and there is a Sergeant by the same name in several press reports stationed  at Newinn. I just need to tie it all together.

Hi, yes I have those marriages and they are Johnston and his Sister Fanny both marrying within days of each other. In the Portlaw/Clonagam records I have, Johnston appears as witness to 4 marriages in Clonagam church and Samuel is baptised there in 1843. I can’t find Edward Morton’s marriage  to his wife Martha or any death, any baptisms of Fanny or Johnston. I know they existed and I have sound records for them in later life when Johnston migrated the Birkenhead/Liverpool and Fanny lived her days out in Hampshire,  just very little of their days before their marriages in Ireland.

True there are no records in the files but the newspaper reports mention him so presumably he existed but perhaps the files don’t.

From working a lot with the RIC records, it seems that for the older years they are not complete. For the early years, they seem to have only included men who were receiving a pension in the 1850s and later.

From newspapers, the Morton in New Inn had the initial 'E'. He is described as a Pol. Con. (police constable) in the Clonmel Herald of Saturday 04 April 1835.
thanks for the information. I am planning a trip to the uk national archives in July which might provide further insight if there are records there. Any snippets are very well received.

I fear it was all too common, this article from The Times in 1875 describes the churchyard where many of my ancestors are buried.

Hi
I am looking for my 4 x Gt Grandfather John Pengelly bc 1780 possibly in Talland ,as that is where my 3 x Gt Grandma Martha was baptised in 1816.
I don’t have a marriage for John,the closest being John marrying Elizabeth Olford in 1801 in Talland.
However,I can only find two children of the John and Elizabeth pairing, my 3 x Gt Grandma Martha and a son John in 1814. It seems a big gap between marriage and children.
I have found a couple on 1851 census living in Looe ,John and Elizabeth Pengelly and then an Elizabeth Pengelly who is a widow in 1861,but wrong birthplace for the Elizabeth marrying in 1801 who was from Lansallos.
Help please.
