Banffshire / Jessie Morrison born in Aberchirder 1869
« on: Thursday 09 February 17 14:32 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching my great grandmother Jessie Morrison. She was born November 17th 1869, the illegitimate daughter of John Morrison (a carpenter) and Jessie Fleming (a domestic servant). She was born on South Street, Aberchirder, and the birth was registered on Dec 6th at St Marnoch, Marnoch, Banff. Both parents signatures are on the registration.

I have researched the records at Ancestry.com and some at Scotlandspeople.gov.uk and it appears Jessie Morrison was a common name at the time.  I can confirm this is my grandmother as her marriage certificate lists them as her parents, her birthday was November 17th and my father remembers her speaking of  a “Fergieloen”? which I finally figured out was Foggieloan.

My great grandmother immigrated to Canada prior to 1890, (I can trace her from 1890 on, just not from 1869 to 1890.)

Any information on the Morrison families in the area at the time would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Kerry / Kennelly / Enright from Ballylongford 1850-1880's
« on: Thursday 09 February 17 13:54 GMT (UK)  »
I’m researching my great grandparents from county Kerry, Martin Kennelly (b1855) and Ellen Enright (b.1858.)

I believe Ellen was from Ballylongford and Martin was Ballybunion?

Martin’s parents were James Kennelly and Margaret Diggon . Ellen’s parents were John Enright and Margaret Irving.  I believe they each had several siblings but I cannot not tell from the church records who were directly related. Ellen may have had a brother John J. Enright.

This is what I have found and can “partially confirm” the information with other records. In some cases the birth years may be off by one year, and there may be a variation on the name. The birth year being off could be due to some of the other records I am comparing to are approximated ages. Names can either be transcription errors or a preference to go another name or by a middle name?

I assumed as they probably worked as farm labour that a change in location every few years would not be unusual?

If anyone has further information on the Kennellys or Enrights in the Ballylongford area it would be appreciated.

Thanks
