Looking for any information on my Great, Great Grandmother Catherine Morley. Born abt. 1866. Believe from Co. Mayo. Married Michael Mulhern abt 1880. Had 14 children and lived in Cloonaweema. Any information would be so appreciated.
Christine:
Below are the 1901 and 1911 census records for the Michael Mulhearn/Mulherrin family. I will look for the marriage index record.

Christine:
I searched twice for a civil marriage index record in the Swineford registration district for Catherine and Michael with no success. I expanded the search to other registration districts in Mayo: Castlebar, Ballina, Ballinrobe, Claremorris and Castlereagh with no success. Either the marriage was not registered or the names were recorded significantly different from Morley and Mulhern. Sorry!

Hi, this is Dorothy Joyce from the Chicago, IL area in the US.
I don't know if this helps or not, but my Grandmother's brother, Patrick Harrington, married a Mary Ellen Morley, the daughter of John Morley and Catherine Cassidy in 1905. Mary Ellen was born about 1883 in Batley, England. Her mother, Catherine, was from the Charlestown area. Mary Ellen's father, John Morley, died sometime in the 1880s and Catherine remarried a Ulick Jordan sometime before 1890.
I bring this up thinking that John Morley may be related to Christine's GrGrGrandmother Catherine Morley. Not sure how to make an actual connection between the two.
Best of luck. If I find any connection, I will pass it forward.
