<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD></TR>

<TR><TD>( A list of Murrells, Morells, Morrells, and Murrills identified at the Townland of Moneydig and in the Parish of Desertoghill from1796. Records from the area in 1663 and 1740 do not reveal the presence of any Morels. About 1796 no Morels have been detected in any of the five neighbouring Townlands around Moneydig. This list includes individuals identified from many sources and some appear more than once. Definite dates are given when known but estimated and approximate years of birth are guesswork designed only to assist in the identification of generations and to provide a possible chronological sequence.( Contractions are explained at the end.)</TD><TD>.</TD></TR>
