Mary Ann Crofton was a sponsor at my gf's baptism at Drumrat. His name was James Clarke and he was one of 14 children born to Patrick Clarke and Catherine Connor in Brougher, Ballinafad.

Catherine Connor's mother was Mary Connor (nee Healy) from Cloghoge.There is also a Dominick Morrisroe cited as sponsor at baptism to my great aunt Catherine. Does anyone have any info on an Ellen Morrisroe who married Michael Clarke on 7/05/1849 Drumrat? I believe that some of the Clarkes also went to Yorkshire and were stone masons. Any help appreciated.

bartholomew morrisroe born about 1863 and his wife was mary ann crofton born about 1841 barried in about 1861/62 in sligo.  They had six children james born in 1863, eliza maria born 1865, bartholomew born 1870 john born 1871 dominic born 1875 (cannot find any information on him) edward my granfather born 1877 died 1962. Batholomew born 1836 listed in the english census of 1881 as living in Wharncliffe, Sheffield working as a labourer at Dixons's Paper Mill. His son Jmaes 1863 joins him in Wharncliffe Side 1881 at the age of 18.  The three brothers James, John, and Bartholomew all moved to Sheffield around 1892 living together in Burngreave Bank Sheffiled. Eliza lived in the City of Philadelphia,, Massachusetts USA for some time around 1881 to 1890 before arriving in Sheffiled in 1892.  It is thought that Bartholomew their father returned to Sligo (broher is the townland) near ballinafad as he is listed in the census as living their in 19902 age 65 with his wife mary ann crofton. I have been shown the house my grandfather was born in and I assume that is where my great grandparents lived as well. I was only very young when my grandfather died but i do remember him being very tall and i believe he was 6ft 2' and he smoked a pipe until he died.  I also believe he had relations in ballinafad called Healy's and his wife was Ann Taheny a local woman.
