Title: Johnston Morton
Post by: steviepeas on Saturday 26 December 15 18:06 GMT (UK)
Hi, I am searching for a relative, Johnston Morton born 1825 Longford to Edward Morton, who is thought to be a sergeant in the Irish Constabulary, although no record seems to exist for this name. Does any one know of a resource to confirm the birth and the military career of Edward Morton?
Johnston Morton married Clarinda Gellately in 1845 in Clonmel but his whereabouts are a mystery until his first born in Birkenhead in 1860. Any help would be very much appreciated

Just to note the following baptism on the 19 June 1855 in the RC parish of SS Peter & Paul, Clonmel...
