Hi,
On 7 march 1884 both Sarah Morton(c1852-1891)and Grace Jane Morton(c1861-1931) were married in Dromcliffe county Clare, both listed their fathers name as Thomas, and their address as Dromore in the parish of Dromcliffe. Both were spinsters. Their father Thomas was deceased and recorded as a farmer.
Grace Jane married Thomas Hicks, Sergeant RIC, resident of dovea thurles, witnesses John Gloster and Alice Downing.
Sarah married Thomas Clarke, RIC constable, address appears to be Pike in Birr but i understand that Birr was named parsonstown at that time, witnesses were James Clarke and Annie Morton.
Grace had 5 children that i know of(Grace Mary or Victoria,Thomas, robert, George, and John) in thurles and died there in 1931, is listed in 1901 census at 7 Dovea Lower Kilrush Aged 40 and 1911 census at 8 Dovea Lower Kilrush Aged 50. her county of birth is given as Longford.
Sarah had 2 children(Harriette Mary and Grace Millicent) with Thomas Clarke who died in Killinane near Loughrea in 1886 (a farmer by this time). She married Michael Gloster and had (i believe)2 more children(Sarah Elizabeth and Mary or Ethel) before she died in Kilchreest.(to the best of my knowledge, the address for both Clarke and Gloster was Roxborough estate)
I am assuming that John Henry Morton(c1855-1922) is a brother of Sarah and Grace and that his wife Annie was the witness for Sarah. i am also inclined to assume that Grace Jane Morton was the same informant for Thomas Morton(c1815-1881)who i believe is my great-great-great-grandfather.
This would then be the same Thomas Morton that james is looking for.
I am happy to share any documentation i have and would greatly appreciate any for members of this family. CC
