I'm not certain myself if Stephen is a grandson of Gerald but can I direct you to this website which might be of help in your search. https://www.kildare.ie/Heritage/Journals-Kildare-Archaeological-society/journals-index.asp?keyword=morett<br /><br />Both Gerald and Stephen are mentioned as being discussed in volume 4. You may have to create an account with Kildare.ie Heritage to access the info but it's worth a try. Best of luck and let me know how you get on.

I am amazed by a very recent discovery re Morette as I remember in 1961 cycling Dublin to Limerick and the castle ruins in an early morning mist to my left always left an impression..now just a few days ago I uncovered on Ancestry a lineage of meself back to Morette it says .... via my Metcalfe gt grandparents at Rathdowney (I have just restored their gravestone) great granny was a Hannigan ... her grandmother was Mary Julian 1782-1845 .... and it says her grandfather was Col. Nathaniel Julian who married ! Castiliana FITZGERALD b 1700 the youngest daughter of Stephen of Morette castle. Would he be a grandson(?) of Gerald who was murdered outside the castle in 1590? Or descendant anyway. Best wishes, Jonathan Metcalfe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696280692109404760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305522918435483160.post-72606684830341684592019-09-12T16:11:11.250+01:002019-09-12T16:11:11.250+01:00Hi Niall, not that I could see.Hi Niall, not that I could see.Castlehunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225021319443029751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305522918435483160.post-21706038822900361922019-08-31T13:32:23.958+01:002019-08-31T13:32:23.958+01:00Lovely photos.
