About Moreys of Notre Dame Bay and White Bay
The question that gets asked in most everyones lifetime at some point
is: "where did my family come from and what kind of people were they?". This
is my way of answering some of this question and I want to share the answers
that I have found(with the help of lots of other people)with any of my
extended Family who might be interested. The Morey family has been living in
Notre Dame Bay since the mid 1840's when George Morey is recorded as living in
Wards Harbour on Long Island,Newfoundland. The activities and events recorded
for George Morey of Ward's Harbour indicate that the family were Anglican
adherents. This would also indicate that there may be a link to the Morry Family
of the Ferryland area. There is record of a George Morry of Ferryland who died
Aug 18, 1846(60 years of age) and is buried in the Anglican Cemetary there. This
George is likely to be a son of Matthew Morry and Mary Graham or at the very
least a close relative. This George Morry is a candidate to have been the father
of George Morey of Ward's Harbour, hopefully time will shed more light on this
possibility.
The Parsons family moved to Little Bay from the Harbour Grace area sometime
around 1879-80.
