Marriage Notes 




171020 posted by David Connors on the Connors family Facebook:

On March 17,1937 John Joseph Connors was wed to Mary Catherine Morrissey. They celebrated their lives with the gathering of fourteen of us, there sons and daughters. Life at home was full of precious memories none so full as when we were able to gather together from all across Canada and the USA in August of 1997  to celebrate 60 years of marriage with them. We will always remember them and on this day we say Happy Anniversary and a very happy St. Patrick's Day in Heaven and say Top of the morning to you both and the rest of the day to yourselves.

Marriage Notes 




Email from Helen Steinke on Aug. 17, 2000:

"Gert Crosbie's Collection of Birth's, Deaths and Marriages in Newfoundland Newspapers I Quote:  MORRISEY,  WILLIAM married  ANNA LOUISA  WINSER, daughter of PETER WINSER, M.H.A.M. on 25th by Rev. Walsh. Published on March 6, 1854 In the Newfoundlander"

Family Bible shows date as the 24th. Will use that.

210316:

On Ancestry the excerpt from Gert Crosbie's BMDs reads;
Name: Ann Louisa Winser 
Gender: Female 
Event Type: Marriage 
Marriage Date: Abt 1854 
Spouse : William Morrissey  
Father: Peter Winser 
Cleric 1 Name: Rev. Walsh 
Reference Date 1: 6 Mar 1854 
Source: Newfoundlander 1827-1884 
Notes: Bride was the youngest daughter of Peter Winser, M.H.A.

030816:
On November 30, 1966, Nimshi Crewe transcribed this marriage record for Capt. Thomas H. Goodyear, 32 Long Pond Rd., St. John's, whose wife, Jessie Windsor, was a descendant. This is what he recorded from the Patriot 11 March 1854:
"Married. On Saturday evening (15th ulto) by the Rev. K. Walsh, Mr. William Morrisey to Ann Louisa, youngest daughter of Peter Winser, Esq. M (ember) G (eneral) A (ssembly).

Nimshi was always quite meticulous about the things he transcribed and I suspect the above is an accurate reflection of what appeared in the newspaper, though the newspaper reporter may have erred. Therefore I think on balance that she did go by the name Ann and not Anna.
