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.

Thanks for the link to the earlier topic, LH. Unfortunately I didn't remember seeming the earlier one and wasted time looking for details already found. I did ask several times about family's religion.

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 ...

Gaffy's post on other thread says Clonagam was Church of Ireland (reply #5)-

I would also think that Samuel Thomas might be nephew rather than sibling to Johnston and Fanny.
