The Study
As
any researcher of this surname quickly finds, untangling the Morrisroe
familes of the 1800's is quite a challenge due to; the close proximity
of the numerous Morrisroe's, in some cases several living on the same
property, the use of the same forename within family's for
generations, and other nearby Morrisroe's doing the same. Also an
obstacle is the gap in records from 1856 Griffiths Valuation to the
1901 census and limited religeous parish records.
By study of the surname, property records, census information, church and civil records, townland publications, workhouse records and others, combined with current day information provided by researchers it is hoped to show a clear and accurate history and lineage of the Morrisroe's of Mayo and Roscommon.
