Morrison Family Rathnagissaun
As my grandfather was born just pre-civil registration (c1861) I cannot find note of his birth date. Civil Records show his younger siblings born at Rathnagissaun, and via Yorkshire Police Staff Records, that some older siblings were born at Castlemore Vicarage, Rathnagissaun, Kilmovee. A book on Kilmovee published in 1986 mentions a Morrison family being the only protestants in the area, and living in a house built for them on the grounds of the Glebe. I am therefore presuming my grandfather, Johnston Morrison (son of Hugh Morrison Snr and Margaret Morrison nee Archey) was also born in Rathnagissaun, and most probably at this house on the grounds of Castlemore Vicarage. My great grandmother Margaret Morrison died in Rathnagissaun on 11 July 1873 and my question is this..... as a church of Ireland member, where would she have been buried? Church records for Castlemore seem to have been destroyed and the RCB didn't have much for me to go on!
(After my great grandmother's death, her husband and children appear to have moved to Keithley in Yorkshire).
I hope to travel to Kilmovee over the next week or two and would be very grateful if there was any local knowledge of the family's existence there or where Margaret could possibly have been interred.
A long shot, but it's amazing where one picks up leads........
