Re: morrin ancestory

celticindustries — 2009-05-16 00:32:15Z

My name is Thomas Francis Morrin. I'm from Co. Mayo in Ireland.
Most Morrins are located around the Cong / Cross / Clonbur area of Mayo with a small scattering throughout the rest of the country.
Many records were 'destroyed' by an odd assortment of fires and misdoings so information is hard to come by. Unless the family had wealth, few records were kept until they passed through a port.
I have heard of a few different origins for the name. French Huguenot 'Moran' is unlikely. Spanish 'Morin' is possible-ish but Siberian Morrin is the most apt. This makes is a Viking name and is fairly accurate with the time lines for it's appearance in Ireland. It means 'of the long hair' or strong, or powerful. (Long hair was a symbol of power and strenght)
Someone seen my name and told me to look you up. Ha! Funny.
Now you know what I know. There must be a million Morrins in Canada of Russian ancestry.
Good luck.

My grandfather Thomas Eugene Morrin was born in Tamworth NSW Australia, his father Thomas Francis Morrin from Ireland married Mary Daly in Derbyshire, Mary was the daughter of Patrick Daly, Derbyshire, they emmigrated to Australia in 1877 on the ship Commonwealth, Mary's parents also emmigrated on the same ship at the same time. Mary was fifteen at the time of marriage, On board with them they had two children Thomas 1 yr old and Anne infant. They later had Francis who died four months before Mary in 1882 in Tamworth, they died of typhoid fever. Thomas Francis married again Catherine Naomi Rooney, they also had children. I believe Thomas Francis Morrin's father was John Morrin, Schoolteacher, I was told they came from Mayo. Any help will ber appreciated. Thanks Betty Bassett.

Re: Morrin Family History

morrindenise — 2008-10-14 06:02:48Z

My grandfather was Thomas Morrin but I believe he came from Killarney, Ireland but I an not sure if he was born there. He married Mary O'Brien also of Killarney. They emigrated to England where my father was born, he was John Dennis Morrin but called Dennis. I think Thomas had several brothers but I am not sure of their names.

Hi Patrick,
You mentioned you could look up the records from Clonsast Parish. Can you tell me how to do it?
Thanks

Re: Catherine Morrin

2008-09-30 23:52:25Z

It is possible to look up the records of births at Clonsast Parish - called Clonbulloge near Edenderry Co Offally. The records date from 1820.

Patrick

Re: Clonsast Records

MOMGEEK — 2008-09-30 23:46:29Z

I hired a genealogist to look up the records of Clonsast parish, Clonbulloge, Co. Offaly. You may also be able to get the film number from the family history library in Salt Lake and order the film...I may also have contacted the local parish priest with a request for the records and I would have enclosed a small donation. I would still like to hear from Catherine Morrin since I have that name on my database.

Re: MORRIN Family

edonegan81 — 2008-08-02 22:55:36Z

Any Walsh connections in your Morrin family? My ggg grandfather, James Walsh, married Mary Morrin in Allenwood, Kildare on 16 Nov 1840. Mary, Mathew and James Morrin are witnesses for baptisms of their children. I don't have any Morrin info except for the marriage record.

Re: Catherine Morrin

2006-11-23 12:23:20Z

Hi

My name is Kevin John Parry. My Greandmother, mother was Catherine Morrin who married Morris Morrison in Ireland. Catherine Morris was born in Dublin, Ireland in1842. I am still trying to trace the family. My Grandmother's father name was John Morrin born Hulme, Manchester about 1878. My Grandmother was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1903/05.this may not be off any use to you. I am not sure if you have any off these names in your family. Sorry I can't help you at the moment on your search, but if I do find out any information to help you I get back to you.

Re: Mary Ann Morrin

2005-07-20 18:38:46Z

This is the same family. Please be in touch if you
would like to share information on the Morrin/Batton
line. Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: MORRIN Family

2004-09-12 18:44:07Z

HI, I don't have any other information than what I posted here. I have not been able to go any furhter. I have not found the ship that they came over on either. I don't have any dates or silbings names----nothing. Anyone that can give me information on my family is long gone without leaving any information. The only reason I posted Kings County was because it was listed on my gr grandfather's Civil War information as to place of birth. The Moran/Morin/Morrin name came from St Mary's Catholice Church in Marshall, Calhoun County, MI, where my gr grandfather, Dennis Dunn, was married. I have not been able to go back any further, I wish that I could.

Re: MORRIN Family

2004-09-12 14:43:28Z

Hi Patricia
I think it may be a stretch, but lets explore. I agree with you that the Irish tended to use the same names over and over.
I have a letter from Karen Kiely at the Kildare Genealogy society that I will be happy to share with you.
E-mail me offline at fordco@zoominternet.net.
My Catherine's father was Peter Morrin he married Mary Connell on Sept.9th 1822 at Ballyrohan, Children were Patrick,Thomas, Brigid, Catherine, Ann, and Peter.I do not have birthdate but do have baptisimal dates, However i find they are not correct according to other records and census

Re: MORRIN Family

2004-09-12 10:56:55Z

I'm very interested in the Morrin/Dunn connection. Kings County is today called Co. Offaly, which is where my Peter Morrin was from. I have recently suspected that my Dunn family came from there also though I have no proof yet. My Peter Morrin was a tenant farmer and part of his acreages was sublet to a Dunn...I'll have to have a researcher check it out. My oldest Dunn, great, great grandfather was James Dunn and came to America and married in NH, first son was born in RI, they moved to Toronto, Ohio and finally settled in Muscatine, IA.

Re: MORRIN Family

2004-09-12 10:50:29Z

My great grandmother, Mary Morrin, had two sisters, Catherine and Bridget; however, their father's name was Peter and he married Margaret Brennan. I have a lot of church records and there were several that may have been brothers of Peter....I need to dig out that information. You may email me offline and we'll work on sorting this out. Rathangan is very near Clonbullogue and very conceivable that Thomas was a brother.....the same names tended to be used in Irish families.

Mary-Cowan MORRIN

I am one of a large extended family of Morrins originating in North Kildare and all of whom are descended from an Edward Morrin who was born in East Offaly. In about 1850 he rented land in Donore, not far from Naas Co. Kildare. That was 6 generations ago. The family still farm that land. You may find that Peter Morrin came from the same parish.

MORRIN from Dublin to Birkenhead, Cheshire

2002-03-20 10:52:36Z

Hi,
I am tracing to trace descendants of Isaac MORRIN born c1848 Dublin, Ireland. He married Louisa Ann WYER in Birkenhead, Cheshire about 1870 and had several children all born between 1870 & 1881 as far as I know.
Benjamin, Anne, Emily, Isaac, Frederick, Samuel (died an infant), Mary.
I have no record of any of them after 1881 except that Isaac senior was still in Birkenhead in 1905 as a joiner.

Do you have a missing Isaac from this period - the family are cnnected to Dillon's also, another Irish name but family says with links to Killarney.

Hope to hear soon,
Sue.

Re: MORRIN Family

MOMGEEK — 2003-03-02 04:44:58Z

I, too, have a gggrandfather named James H. Dunn. I have not been able to pinpoint where in Ireland he came from, but am becoming convinced that it was from Kings County (Offaly). My ggrandfatehr, William T. Dunn married Mary Morrin (b. Clonbullogue IR) and I find that her parents had a tenant on their farm named Dunn...lots of Dunn/Morrin weddings. Can't prove it..do you have any more information than when you last posted?

I alsmo met Liam Morrin and family that day. I have two Edward's in my data base...one married to a Margaret O'Shaughnessy and another to an Ann Sterhough....either one of these Edwards the same as
yours? One of them may have been brothers to my Peter.

Thank you.

JOHNWARRENER — 2004-10-24 12:09:35Z

My Morrin's came from county Mayo. My grandmother Bridgit was born there in the late 1800's. Her father John brought the family to upstate New York. They settled in Cambridge, NY in an area known as Irish Lane. Thomas's wife was Mary Casey. They are both buried in Cambridge,NY. The spelling of the last name was changed before they left Ireland to Murrane. They still pronounce it as if it were Moran. I have tracked family down in the area of Fort Edward, NY who still use the spelling of Murrane.

Re: MORRIN Family

Kathy_Dunne — 2004-02-19 03:48:47Z

My grgreatgrandparents--James Dunn & Maria Morin/Morrin were from Kings Co. I know Maria migrated with one of her sons, my grgrandfather, Dennis Dunn about 1853. They settled in Calhoun Co., MI. I know Maria was there in 1867/68 because she is the godmother to my grandfather, Martin Dunn. I don't know anything else regarding James Dunn & his wife Maria Morrin. Can anyone make a connection with me? Dennis married a Catherine Salmon in 1865 and had 3 children. I also think that Dennis had a brother by the name of James b. 1831 and Dennis b. 1840. I don't know of any other siblings.
