Hello, Patrick Joseph Morrissey
You must be the closest I have come to finding my Patrick Joseph Morrissey.
He was my Great Grandfather.He was apparently born 11 July 1888 possibly in Rathkeale, Limerick.He joined up in Tralee, Kerry on 11 October 1906 and went out to the East Indies in 1908.His trade had been listed as 'overseer'.What does this mean?Is it something to do with Workhouses? He lived in/travelled through the East Indies, Turkey, India, Mespot. and Burma.He died in Calcutta, India in 1940 still serving in the Army.
He married Eileen Mangan in 1915 in Rangoon.They had 8 Children.They came to England in 1948.I am interested in tracing Patrick Joseph Morrissey's parents, who according to his attestation papers were Thomas and Mary.I would be grateful for any advise.
Nice to be in contact with his name sake.
Regards
Rachel Joy
