area of research: ggf Thomas roots
I am wandering all over these sites and truly appreciate the hard work people have done. I too am looking for my great grandfathers roots. His death certificate says dob 1856, Ireland, mother Mary Higgins, father John Morrisroe. When I querry (Morrisro ) in the 1901 cencus I see a Briget Morrisroe 75 and wonder if that could be his widowed mother. When I querry (Bridget Morrisroe) I see 2 entries one which says mother/nurse 65. The name Towey comes into the picture in each of these cases even though here is a discrepancy in age. What should I take as a next step to rule them out or in?

Family name: Conboy,Lyons,Butler,Treston/Trustan
area of research: Co Roscommon
What a wonderful site! I have traced back our CONBOYs to the 1901 Census: townland Cloonradoon, Parish Bumlin, Barony Roscommon, Co. Roscommon. My great grandfather was James CONBOY, son of John CONBOY and Bridget LYONS. His wife, Winifred Butler Conboy was daughter of Robert BUTLER and Winifred TRESTON/TRESTEN/TRUSTAN/TISTON. James Conboy and Winifred Butler were married at the Drumlion Roman Catholic Church on 31 May 1888. His given address at the time of marriage was Cloonradoon,Strokestown. Her address was Boher, Carrick on Shannon. My grandmother, Elizabeth Conboy was born several months (July 19th) after the 1901 census was taken on . I do not have any offical records on her since she was born after 1900 - I do have information on her older siblings who were baptized in the Strok stown Roman Catholic Parish. Church records list the townland address sometimes as The Demesne and sometimes as Cloonradoon. My great grandfather James Conboy's obituary was in one of the local Irish papers in July 1914, not sure which one. It mentions that he went to assist a wool merchant named McDermott in loading some wool, and was found lying on the ground at the end of t e cart in a stunned condition. He was attended by doctors Mullen, Strokestown and Blakeny, Roscommon but never rallied. He was buried in the family burial place in Bumlin Cemetery. Rev. Dr. Hurley,C.C. Strokestown, officiated at the graveside. It was no mentioned in the obiturary but my grandmother told us he died of a broken back after falling from the top of the cart. My great grandmother Winifred Butler Conboy emigrated with her children to New York City USA in the spring of 1916. I would love to share information with anyone researching this line!
