1840s DUBLIN Ireland MORRISON'S

[Heppy]

Hello again, I don't know your real name ?
Yes I have the photo, of Rev S. G. Morrison, thank you. You obviously know Aileen Godden, ? I do actually have the photo of him and Catherine, but have recently found out that he actually married REBECCA BEGGS from Northern Ireland. and it was his son Simpson Gabriel Morrison (Junior) who married Catherine Hanbidge.
Who were your parents, and grandparents, as I am trying to piece together all S.G's  children, he had a lot. I have got a copy of a letter he wrote in about 1883 to his daughter Gabriella  who was a governess if I can somehow get your address I will photo copy it for you it is most interesting.
If you give me your name I can look up the Irish telephone numbers and get you that way.

Lovely to hear from you. and hope we can communicate by email better.
Regards.
Heather

Heather, you should now both be able to use PM system to send email addresses and other details which shouldn't be posted online.

 Happy New Year,

it took a while for me to get in touch with Heather, and I sent her an email yesterday, I acquired a copy of Memories of Wicklow by Hanbidge, I'm not sure if it's the same family, asking her if she is familiar with "Memories".
You are a Morrison? what a beautiful portrait of our ancestor, the Rev Simpson.
Maybe next year my husband and I will get to Ireland, his family is from Bessbrook.

Cheers, Gail

Hello FinglasMorrison,

Would you know anything about one of Rev. Simpson G. Morrison's sons, David Beggs Morrison? He was born in Dublin about 1850 and died here too in 1922. Would you know anything of his children?

Cheers,

Steven

Hi just picked up on the Simpson G Morrison connection, looks like he married a Maria Rebbecca Beggs youngest sister of the relation Im looking into David Beggs born in Tyrone in 1822.
In the tree l have, it shows Simpson and Maria had several children, William, Ella, Ada, David, Simpson and about five others at least. Maybe someone might pick up on the Beggs side, apparently they fled Scotland during the persicution of the Covernanters in the 1660's and 1670's.

Cheers Jimmy

Hi Jimmy!

More Morrisons! and Begg's names.  My husband and I are off to Great Britain next week, and at this rate we'll have to go to Dublin!  we were "just" planning to visit the Lake District, Scotland, Northern Ireland, just hop around like a couple of bunnies for a couple of weeks.

I don't know anything further back than Simpson Gabriel M and Rebecca Beggs, my "newly" found ggg grandparents, but Im going to try to find out,
