Looking for any connections to the Morris and Bodkin families of Kilbride Parish. Gilbert was born in 1836 to John Morris and Bridget Bodkin. Brother John was born in 1842. Gilbert came to the states (Rutland, Vermont) around 1865. Thanks!
Hi,
Thank you very much for your message, I hope that someone with a connection contacts you on the message board.
Have you checked the 1901/1911 census records to see if there was any Morris or Bodkins still in the area at the time? If not you can do so here:
