Are you related to the DUBLIN, Ireland MORRISON who was a Presbyterian Minister in the mid 1800s in Dublin.?
If so please ,please get in touch, and make this a very special Christmas present for me as I have come to a very big brick wall.
Or if you have HANBIDGE in you family archives also get in touch.
also the surname TAIT as these surnames are all tied in with the MORRISON side of the family.

Hello Heppy,
I'm not related to any Morrisons but I'm wondering if the minister you mentioned is Rev. Simpson G. Morrison, Sherrard Street, Lower St Georges, Dublin who is mentioned in Griffith's Valuation of 1848-51?
Best Wishes, Christopher

Hello Christopher,
Yes, Rev Morrison I refer to is REV SIMPSON GABRIEL MORRISON. He was my Great Great Grandfather.
Do you know anything about him.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Heather,
I'll have a look at the Presbyterian Historical Society's "A history of congregation in the Presbyterian church in Ireland 1610-1982" which is in the reference section of the local library to see what it says about your great great Grandfather.
Christopher.

Hello Heather,
I'm a bit puzzled here. Your post on the Past Times Project website says that your great great grandfather started his ministry at the 1st Presbyterian Church Armagh and then moved to Plunkett Street, Dublin about 1845 where he stayed.until his death about 1889.
1. What's the connection with Co. Wexford? and 2. Do the records of the churches where he was a minister not show any details of the baptisms and christenings of his children?
Christopher

I'm even more puzzled than Christopher. History of Congregations doesn't list a Rev. Morrison in 1st Armagh. From 1800-1858 the ministers are: Thomas Cuming (1796-1816), Samuel Eccles (1817-18223), Pooley Shuldam Henry (1826-1846), Alexander Fleming (1846-1851), John Hall (1852-1858). John Hall left 1st Armagh to go to Mary's Abbey, Dublin.
Now back to the mysterious Rev. Morrison. The Suppliment to History of Congregations lists him under Dublin, Union Chapel: "Dr. Stuart resigned in 1841; he was succeeded in 1844 by Rev. S.G. Morrison, the minister of the Independent Chapel in Plunket St. He and his congregation all came to Union Chapel. He attracted a large congregation wit an average attendence of 700. In 1861, the congregtion had 100 families ad 200 communicant members. Morrison retired in 1881. He was succeeded by the Rev. Dr. William Tait who was called from 2nd Castleblayney. He married the daughter of his redecessor. He reigned in 1890." In 1828 on Lower Abbey Street "a larger church was built and called Union Chapel, the title marking the union of the two congregations and also the union of Anti-Burgher and Burgher Synods to form the Secession Synod. Union Chapel burned down in 1916, the congregation united with Abbey Church.

Hi Heather,
How were you able to post the information about Rev. Simpson Gabriel Morrison
on the Past Times Project website? What source did you find that states that he
started his career in Armagh and ended it in Dublin? It appears to differ slightly
from the information posted by aghadowey.
aghadowey, I did some googling for Independent Presbyterians in Armagh but had very little success in that part of the world. I found a large number of references to them in America and some in Devonshire. Rev. Simpson Gabriel Morrison must have studied at a college or university somewhere prior to being called by the congregation at Armagh and being installed there. The Presbyterians tend to be quite good about recording such events. He may have been trained in Scotland.
Christopher.

Clergymen from the Presbyterian Church in Ireland do not go missing but it seems that Rev. Morrison belonged to a succeeding congregation and earlier details of his ministry might not be found in sources like History of Congregations.
