Murray/Morrison-Rathmelton

DonegalAughnish (Donegal)

My 2x great-grandmother, Eugenia (aka Annie) Morrison was born on August 29, 1870 in Rathmelton or Drumonhagan.  Her parents were Sarah Murray & John Morrison.  Sarah Murray was listed as having been born in Ireland.  John Morrison had been born in Scotland and was listed as a "seaman" on Annie's marriage record.

By 1889, Annie was living in Glasgow, Scotland where she married Michael Delaney (from Ireland).  Annie & Michael had a daughter Catherine (1890-1892) and Mary (1892-1918) while living in Glasgow.  She then left for the USA in 1894 with Mary - Michael was already living in the US.

Sarah & John also had a son named John Morrison who was born Feb 8, 1875 - I know nothing else about him.  I do not know if there were any other children.  

I am trying to learn more information about this family.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Hi,

I found a record on rootsireland.ie that said Sarah Murray and John Morrison had a child Hughann Morrison in Aug 1870.  It is possible that Hughann and Eugenia are the same person? 

Here are a few websites for you to check out.

Donegal Genealogy Resources - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/

Donegal Library Service - http://www.donegallibrary.ie/

I wish you all the best with your research.

Kind regards,

Yes, that is her - I found that record on familysearch.org, I think it was.  They also have her brother's record.  Thank you for those other links - I will have a look and see what I come up with!

Thank you for your help!
