Thank you I really appreciate that, hopefully I will make sense at some point of the Morrisons.
Don't go far ha ha

Here I am again, I thought I would have one more try with the Morrison family,
So marriage in 1879 to Michael Colligan, (Ballymote) Mary Morrison is said to be full age which doesn't fit with the Mary Morrison I thought was correct born in 1867.
All I know for sure is her father was Michael Morrison.
Any tips at all?
I am at a loss really as to how to proceed.
Thank you once again for your time reading this.

New thread about marriage of Mary Morrison & Michael Colligan, for attention of new contributors.

Here is that Mary Morrison’s birth with mother Honor Kevil.

I thought it so good but then there is the census records in Carrownacreevy 

I've been looking at birth registrations for children of Michael Morrison & Honor (Kevil) and at 1901 census.
Birth registrations of siblings of that Mary Morrison include Honor 1870 and Margaret 1873.
Possible relevant death registrations:
1902 Michael age 85 informant Catherine Morrison, daughter
1907 Honor aged 33, informant Catherine Morrison, sister
1918 Honoria aged 88, informant Catherine Morrison daughter
All registered Ballymote, Sligo
I couldn't decipher residence on the birth and death registrations. It began with C.

All the above names were on the 1901 census return for household of Michael Morrison & wife Hanoria at  Carrownacreevy.
Michael Morrison age 72
Hanoria                    70
Catherine                 35
Mary                        26
Hanoria                    24
Maggie                     22
 Michael O'Connor age 18 grandson

If it was the family of Michael Morrison and Honor Kevil, ages of daughters were a few years off. Mary should have been 33/4, Hanoria or Honor 30/1, Maggie 27/8. Birth order was correct. No birth registration in or anywhere near Sligo district for Catherine. She was probably born before civil birth registration.

Yes there are a lot of Morrisons.

I am just looking for clues.
The marriage witness was Thomas Morrisson.

There are a couple of skirmishes between Michael and Mary Colligan and Thomas Morrison of Newtown, Ballymote.

26th March 1896, Thomas v Michael and Mary, the witnesses are Thomas (presumably the complainant) and Bt Morrison (Bridget, I assume).

1901?

The Michael Morrison on 1901 census probably died later that year. Informant of death was Thomas Morrison, step-brother.

I doubted that family (Hanoria) earlier for the reasons given - Mary Morrison Colligan has father Michael as deceased on her marriage in 1879.

The only death I can see before the marriage for Michael Morrison is 1872 - a 75 yr old widower - pauper in the workhouse - Sligo.

The Michael Morrison on 1901 census probably died later that year. Informant of death was Thomas Morrison, step-brother.

Yes I saw that and he is the informant on his mother Bridget’s death.
As I mention on the other thread in 1870, Michael Morrison and his daughter Mary are also mentioned together in an assault.
