Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Morrison Family Name in Ulster 1610 - 1633

2020-05-21 Thread elwyn soutter via CoTyroneList 
Rick,



The surname, the general location and the family denomination all point to
them being settlers who probably arrived in Ireland in the 1600s.



MacLysaght’s surnames of Ireland describes Morrison as  “an English name
numerous in Ulster.” The location ie Tyrone, is a county heavily settled by
Scots & English in that period, and the family denomination (Methodist in
1901) also points to them being incomers. (They would almost certainly have
been Church of Ireland – ie Anglican- in earlier times, prior to
Methodism’s arrival in Ireland).  So in effect you have 3 pointers to them
being of settler origins.



The Muster Rolls c 1630 show a number of Morrisons in Ireland, and one in
Tyrone, but none in the Barony of Omagh East (which includes Loughterush)
so that points to a post 1630 arrival in the Loughterush area, if not in
Ireland.



It’s very rare to find any documentation for the 1600s, unless you were an
Undertaker or major land owner, or had land forfeit after the 1641
rebellion.  The earliest likely records might be in the Registry of Deeds
which start around 1709. If the family registered a lease or other
significant document, that sometimes gives you a date. Failing that, church
records may help. Kilskeery Church of Ireland records start in 1767 so you
might find them there. For some people the tithe applotment records in the
late 1820s/early 1830s are often the earliest records to be found.



I searched the PRONI e-catalogue but see no mention there of Morrison in
Loughterush other than in the tithes in 1826. There were no comprehensive
records of when people first acquired land. For most 17th century settlers,
the first 150 years or so of their time in Ireland are lost in the mists of
time.

Subject: James Quigley, born about 1795, catholic in Londonderry, Tyrone, 
Ireland.

Hello I am looking for the Military regiment of my great -great Grandfather. 
James Quigley. I believe he came to Canada with the a British regiment 
between1808 to 1843,. There was 8 regiments who were station in Pentanguishene 
Ontario. I can't find his parents name, on his marriage application of 1844. He 
must have taken his retirement, because he purchased land in Pentanguishene in 
1843. He might have been a Sargent, who received a medal, and a pension. There 
was a James, with the 66th who was born in 1808 who deserted in 1833. -also a 
James with Glengarry Fencibles born in 1785, and a Prostant. My James  became 
successful with a big farm, brickyard, and lumbermill. He got married a second 
time to Mary Devine in 1854. He may have a brother named Charles, who got 
married in Londonderry in 1829, and came to Pentanguishene in 1831-1835. I was 
also wondering if he followed the Irish tradition of naming first born after 
parents name. He called his first son James, and his first daughter 
 Mary.  James is listed in the 1861 census of Simcoe counties, also in 1871 
census, and in 1881 census. He died in August 1886 in Pentanguishene, and was 
buried by St Ann's catholic church. Thank you- Donald Patrick Quigley-Winnipeg

"In the 1980s, the late David Todd, who lived all his life in Greerstown,
Co. Londonderry researched his family history and produced a booklet for
family members.  When doing this he realised that a useful source of
information was gravestones, and the condition of many of these was fast
deteriorating, which would lead to the loss of useful information.  In the
late 1980s / early 1990s, he produced four booklets transcribing the
inscriptions in graveyards in Co. Londonderry and Co. Tyrone as follows:
Old Glendermott, with his daughter, Marjorie; Leckpatrick, with his wife,
Sheelagh; Old Donagheady, with his daughter, Deirdre and the Grange Burial
Ground, with his wife, Sheelagh.These were very successful.

The family is therefore delighted to share them with interested parties
