Hi Dawn:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
Suggest you try to trace the family through the censuses. Irish women usually emigrated between the ages of 18 and 28. Immigration rcds can be found at castlegarden. At its website, you can find websites for other immigration sites.
The surname Morgan is also found in Ireland. This implies they were both RC, although the children's forenames imply the father's family was at least 2nd or 3rd generation Irish-American. You should try to search RC church parish registers for their marriage.
Regional newspapers in the area where she died likely had an obituary. This sometimes is an important source of info.
For Ju(lia) O'Connor B 1850 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 27 rcds with 3 in 1850 (exact). The fathers' forenames for these three are John, Mich(ael), and Pat(rick).
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
