So if he died in 1884 aged 65 -- that was possibly Priscilla's brother, if she was born c 1820.

The Probate record says she is the daughter and if she was single, she can’t be the one who died in 1899/ 1900
That lady was married to a farmer.

There is a published tree which has Patrick Morrisroe married to Priscilla Lillie (variation)

Here is a church marriage for Elizabeth  Morrisroe and Edward Heally in 1875
Her parents are Patrick and Priscilla Lillie

There seems to be something amiss - the original post from derrygolagh - states that Priscilla was born c. 1820 - and her father was thought to be Patrick.

That's why I am confused. The Patrick who died in 1884, aged 65 would have been born c. 1819 - hence likely to be a brother of that Priscilla (if the original information in the first post is correct).

That published tree has Priscilla born 1847 but baptisms for that year look to be missing.

A spouse is mentioned but no marriage details - Thadeus McDonagh

There is a baptism of a child - same name 26th September 1879 with the same parents

Yes I agree it is confusing, Pennines. :)

I am not sure who we are looking for but I thought it was the daughter mentioned in the Probate.

Oh thank you Heywood - it's not just me then. We need clarification from the original poster I think.
