James MORROW of Raphoe
« on: Sunday 21 July 19 17:39 BST (UK) »
As the name Morrow is in my ancestry I have been asked by Shirley in the USA about a James Morrow born in Raphoe in 1833 and emigrated to Philadelphia in 1853. I am sure he is not one of my Morrows, although three did emigrate to Pennsylvania earlier than 1850.
I see there is a James Morrow who sailed on the Jane Andson on 6th July 1853 for Philadelphia, but I cannot find a James Morrow born in Raphoe in 1833. He may have come from a nearby place. He married Eleanor Wilson also of Raphoe.
Does anyone know of this James Morrow?

Thank you, Rathmore
I did not find a James Morrow who fitted the criteria on Find my Past. This chap emigrated to America and died in Toronto, Ohio in 1900. I have not found his marriage to Eleanor Wilson of Raphoe.
