Thank you Maureen, apologize for the delay..

I do not know much about them at all. from Cork as I recall.. Maurice must have emigrated about 1850 ish ( I found a Maurice to NY in 1853) The lived in Yarker, ON. I have updated his dob to DEc 1829 and I found his ( and spouse) gravestove..
Also by using BALLYVOURNEY, CORK, IRELAND as his place of birth I was able to find a Maurice who was born that at the correct time...
