Rahan-Kings Co / Offaly - Morris Family

[morrisj]

Could anyone lookup the Morris name from Rahan/Derrycooley if anyone has the 1901 Census for that area, My Great Grandfather James was born there, and from a huge Family; Father Richard Morris with Brothers Richard and Samuel. 

Still finding a brickwall from the mothers side thou

Thank you, appreciate anything

Jane Mitchell, a relation of mine, married Richard Morris on 06/02/1873. Their children were:
John born 13/09/1877
Lydia born 1878, who married Thomas Vaux
Francis born 1882, who married John Roe
Samuel 1884
Thomas 1886
Joseph 1887
Richard 1889

I trust this is helpful.
I have a lot on the Mitchells and could probably get more on the Morris's.

Jon hasn't been online since 2009 so he may not see your message.

Do you have any contact details for him?

Jon should have received a notification that you replied to this thread, so hopefully should log back in again soon.

He has two posts so my be able to receive personal messages, so that may be worth a try also.

Hi John, sorry I hadn't seen I had an email form here just found it. Yes I would be very interested to see what you have on Mitchell / Morris Families. Richard and Jane also had a Son James that is the line I am from but we cannot locate a birth certificate I checked with the records office and they can prove Richard and Jane are his parents but cannot locate a birth certificate either which is very weird. I have the others birth certs and some marriage certs but thank you for the update with Lydia and   Francis I don't think I had those. I have found a little more out beings I posted that back in 2007 I just didn't think anyone was looking for the Mitchell's / Morris's.

Look forward in speaking more

   I noted the baptisms in Liss (Ballycumber) Church. There are two to Richard and Jane - Joseph 20/10/1885 and Richard 1887 91. However, there is a birth of Thomas James on 15/08/1884 to Richard Morris of Derrycooley and ELIZA. Is this a different Richard, is it an error or was Richard misbehaving?

Jon.  I've just come on to this site. I'm part of this clan - my mother Kathleen is the daughter of James and Kathleen Morris of Tullamore [both died in the mid '60s]. One of my cousins has chased down some of the Mitchell/Morris connection.

my great great GF James Morris, lisballyard but I suspect is a different James! There  are mitchels in birr area!
