Who was Priscilla Morrisroe's Mother?
« on: Monday 24 August 20 15:58 BST (UK) »
Hello

Please could anyone help me in tracing the mother of Priscilla Morrisroe?

I believe Priscilla was born in 1820 and died in 1900 and remained unmarried.

I believe her father Patrick Morrisroe  was born 1800 and died 1884.  Probate records show he was a Shopkeeper in Ballinafad Co. Sligo and he left his estate of £150.00 to his Spinster daughter Priscilla.

I have somewhere in my records an Indenture Document where I think it was a Patrick Morrisroe who gave so much money to I think a Patrick Clarke to set him up in business.  I will have to look this up to confirm.

I think all are my relatives.

Any help on this would be very gratefully received.

Thank you very much.

Regards.
Derrygolagh

The only death for a Priscilla Morrisroe on IrishGenealogy is this one (1900)...... she is married (the widow of a farmer). The informant at her death is her daughter, Eliza Heally. The townland is Ballinafad.

Her daughter, Eliza married Edward Heally in 1875.

There is a death on the Ireland Civil Registration Index for Q/E March 1899 in Boyle Registration District.

(Plenty of records for someone of that name in Ireland Petty Sessions Records, location Ballinafad - I haven't looked at them so it may not be the same person.

Priscilla's husband Patrick (a farmer) died in 1888 at Faleens. The informant was another daughter Mary Owens.

Yes - I mentioned these in reply 3 -- I have looked at a couple of them. One seems to be for Patrick and Priscilla is a witness. He was charged with having his licensed premises open outside permitted hours.

Then one for Priscilla herself - same reason. There are several though.

Doesn't solve the problem of 'who's the mother' I'm afraid.
