Lookup Please for Morrow... Newtownards area

[morrowcoulterclan]

My father John Morrow was b.1911....... but no birth cert seems to exist but it does state this on his driving license issued during ww2. He was presbyterian.

On my parents marriage certificate it states his parents were Thomas Morrow and Agnes Martha Morrow (nee coulter) from Newtownards. I cannot find my grandparents marriage certificate only an Agnes and James morrow.

I have seen the 1911 census with a John Morrow age 1 with parents Thomas and May Morrow (May could be short for Martha) and other siblings but cant find birth cetificates for any of these siblings named Ada and Thomas and Mabel so not sure if this is my father. In the census it says Carrowdore area of Newtownards...  I do know my father went to Millisle school so this could well be the area. (school records burned in fire unfortunately)

I just keep hitting a brick wall as to where my fathers people live or rest.

As a family we have never met any of his relatives at all.

Not sure if this is enough info but thanx to anyone willing to help. Really very much appreciated.

P.S. Did try Emeraldancestors site last year but no joy. Have also tried various sites asking for Lookups but noone can find anything. So am trying here on good recommendation.

Welcome to Rootschat. Here's the link to the family in 1911 census you found living at Carrowdore:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Down/Carrowdore/Ballycopeland/263812/

There is a birth registration for Ada M.Morrow July/Sept.1907 Newtownards district volume 1 page 782
Also, Mabel Morrow Apr./June 1899 Newtownards district volume 1 page 839
I didn't look for the rest of the family but you can find them in the civil registration index-

In 1901 the family are living in Ballycopeland townland:

Hi Kingskerwell,

I have had this info before but my father states on his own marriage cert that his father is Thomas. So far their children in PRONI does not turn up my fathers name John Morrow. Thanx for looking x

Go to civil registration index-
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c=fs%3A1408347
Put in name only, such as 'Ada Morrow' then narrow down results with tabs- place, dates, event, etc. and you sould see the index details.

Aghadowey,

I did this yesterday and nothing happened but today voila it opened...brilliant!

Ok found this out from another site that 1901 census with John Morrow aged 1 is definately not my father as the woman May Morrow mentioned in census is Brazier to her own name not my grannys name Coulter. So the Ada and mabel etc are not his siblings.

In 1901 census there is an Agnes Coulter Morrow with son James living at 'Carroodore' (Carrowdore)-
