re Cornelius Morris and Mary Mcghee
« on: Monday 24 April 06 10:21 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can help me with ONE of my brick walls?
My ggggrandfather, Cornelius Morris married Mary Mcghee in Ireland and came out to Tasmania, Aust. (via New Zealand )around 1841. I can't seem to find marriage or birth certs, for these two...I have plenty of info. from when they arrived in Australia, so if I could get a lead on them it would be wonderfull.... ???

Dear Betty,
I am looking for my Morris Family from Tasmania, My great grandmother was Emily Frances Morris daughter of Charles Henry Morris and Mary Ann Howard who married at
Launceston 1871 . They had about 10 kids any connection? I think they moved to Melbourne in later years.
Kind regards
Brenda

Hi Brenny, I don't think our Morris' have the names you mentioned, they are probably a later generation...if you google in the name "Cornelius Morris Tasmania "you will find a good site about the Morris's etc.Godd luck, you never know!    Betty S

I have the same problem, I cannot find either of them.  Just spent the last 2 hours looking.  I seem to think Cornelius was not his first name. There is something missing for sure. the closest I have come to Cornelius is 1752 Dublin who could be family.

Hi Davakana, which Morris' are you looking for? I don't have a lot of info. on them, BUT i do have a helpful book  by Carol Cassidy from Tas. who was a Morris.

I am also a Morris, descendant of Cornelius, still haven't found much information only that there was a little village in Armagh called MountMorris also known as Mount Norris.  I would love to know more about him.  Have all the information that Carol did which was wonderful.
