Hi There,

I have been very busy relocating and settling into a new job so I have kind of missed out on my research for sometime, but nothing has come up relating to my relatives in Tyrone.  I would be happy to discuss what you know and maybe we can figure something out with our lines.

My personal email is (*).  I also have my tree on ancestry.com that I can invite you too, if you send me your email.  My Morrow line is in there.

Thanks so much for your reply.

Michelle

Hello Margaret,

WOW!! I am speachless, I have been trying to find Eliza's descendents for quite some time.  I also found another relative who has been trying also.  Her name is also Margaret.  Her Grandfather was Joseph Bruce Morrow, Samuel and Eliza's brother.  Samuel Hamilton Morrow is my Great Grandfather, they were born in Salford, but I believe that Eliza and her sisters were born in Ireland before returning to Barrow where Thompson and Eliza are now buried.  Please email me at (*) this is my personal email.  I have been building my tree on ancestry.com and would love to have your email to invite you as there are so many missing pieces and seeing you here, I am so exicted.

I want to post this so you get it, I currently live in the USA so we are 8 hours behind you.  If you email me your email address I will invite you to our family tree, I have been trying to gather memories and pictures of our family and I have some but I am missing that of Samuel and Jospeh's sisters, Eliza being one of them. 

I hope to hear from you soon
Big smiles Michelle

Hello Jim,

This is good information thank you so much, I am willing to try anything at this point.  I really need to take a trip back home to England and also pay a visit to Ireland too.  I live in California USA and have done for the past 16 years, so my research capabilities here are quite limited.  I did find that record regarding the other Thompson Morrow father David and was wondering myself if there was a connection, I have a relative in the UK whom I recently found that will be making a trip to Ireland again sometime this year or next, so I am hoping I can gather specifics to point her to the right place of birth, as County Down is a big county, and I also wondered if Thompson was born in County Down why did he returned to Belfast, Ireland and have 3 children there before returning to the UK, isn't Belfast in County Antrim??  I found a probate record also of a John Thompson Morrow who died in 1898 and left money to a Thomas Morrow of Newtownards, the name Thompson seems to be an unusual name that I wouldn't imagine you would come across too often so I am trying to investigate these other Thompson's whether it be first name or midde name.  Somehow there must be a connection.

Thank you for your reply
Thanks so much

Hello,

I am looking for information regarding my GG Grandparents, Thompson and Eliza Ann Morrow.  Thompson was born in County Down in 1856 and Eliza Ann Hamilton was born in 1851 in Tyrone.   I recently received there marriage certificate and Thompson's father was Thomas Morrow and Eliza Ann's was Samuel Hamilton.  I do not know if they had siblings or who there mother's were.  Thompson and Eliza moved to the UK not sure what year, but they were married at St James the Less in Ancoats Manchester, they had 2 children in Salford Pendleton named Samuel and Joseph Bruce, they went back to Ireland for a time and had 3 more children in Belfast,  Eliza Ann Morrow, Margaret and Ellen Jane, they returned to the UK where they lived their lives out in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria which is also where I was born.

If anyone would be able to help me find a way to locate parents and where they were from and any siblings that might have existed, I do know from grandfather that some of our Morrow ancestors moved from Ireland to Pennsyvania, USA.  But again I am stuck at Thompson's father and unable to get any more informtion.

Any help would be great.
Thank you
Michelle Morrow
