Hi from New Zealand.
my great grand father Leonard Morrison
married Rebecca Grant in Tandragee on the 4th September 1856 at the United Church of Ireland.
his father was George he had a livery stable.
Rebecca's father was Nicholas Grant ,
they sailed to NZ in 1864-65.
George may have spelled Morrisson ?.
They came with 3 children,Jane,Emily,Sara..
can any one help with any of their family still in the
parish. thank's Ashley Morrison..

Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your message. I hope that someone who recognises the family makes a connection with you to share information.
In the meantime have you tried looking in the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were any Morrisons there at the start of the 20th century? If not you can search these here:

It may also be an idea to get in contact with the local parish office to see if they can be of any assistance:

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
