My grandmother Rose was born in Holyrood Feb. 8th 1884. Her parents were Peter and
Katherine Morrissey Katherine's father was named Fury. After arriving in Newfoundland
he became captain of his own fishing vessel...and became known as Captain Fury.
My grandmother had seven siblings. Andy, Bill, Gert, Lena, Josephine, Maude and
Angela. The only one I remember meeting was Gert when she and her husband David
lived in Toronto.
Andy was killed in a mine five weeks after returning from four years in the first world
war. Bill was also killed in a dynamite explosion. Maude and Angela both died in Holyrood
of bronchitis at a young age
If anyone has information on the family I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you . Fred Smith <fsmith215@cogeco.ca>

I have an Ellen (aka Anne) Morrisey born 1835 and her father was John Morrisey born 1814 both of Holyrood. Would either of these be related to your Morriseys? I don't have much more info on them than this...

My grandmother's parents came from the old country and settled in Holyrood, neither was born there.I don't think the people you mentioned were immediate family.
