Have not posted a query for a while and hopefully someone out there may have knowledge. Hugh Morrow B1806 Longford Ireland, married Eliza (nee Bole) B 1814 in Ireland . Hugh and Eliza married 1835 at Ballymahon, County Longford. Eliza's parents were John Bole and Anne Bole (formerly Diamond) of Ledwithstoen, County Longford. Hugh and Eliza came to New Zealand arriving 11 June 1861 on the Barque "Mersey" with their children: Robert Bole Morrow B1836 Longford John Morrow B1838 D1866 in Australia Elizabeth Morrow B1839 -Married John Henry Hooper in 1862 in Auckland New Zealand Hugh Morrow B1840 D 1921 in NZ Frederick Morrow B1841 D 1923 Sydney Australia Arthur Morrow B 1842 D1937 Auckland New Zealand Thomas Hussey Morrow B 1845 D 1906 NZ Richard Wolseley Morrow B1846 D 1892 NZ (My Great Grandfather) George Morrow B 1848 D 1916 NZ Ambrose Bole Morrow B1850 D 1921 NZ Edward Morrow B1849/1850 D 1924 NZ I believe all children born in Ballymahon, County Longford Ireland. Hugh and Eliza came from Corrabola House of County Longford. Am seeking siblings of the original Hugh Morrow who on arriving in NZ in 1861 showed his occupation as Sheriff, County Longford and also of British Ordnance Department. I believe it is possible he may have had brothers/sisters who moved to either Australia or New Zealand around the same time. and also I understand Hugh's father was a Major R A Morrow, Chief Commissary of Ordnance, Athlone, County Westmeath. This is taken from notes Arthur Morrow left with Museum. I would love to find out more info on this name (possibly Robert Arthur)
