Morpeth Roll digitised

From the creator

The Morpeth Roll was presented to Lord Morpeth when he left Dublin in 1841. Containing 158,331 signatures, it is a rare tribute to an English administrator who was held in high regard in Ireland. The roll has been digitised, and researchers are looking into the stories behind the signatories - among them 3 brothers who are distant relations of British Princes William and Harry. The roll can be seen online at www.ancestry.ie Keep up to date with all the latest Irish and international news and current affairs with http://www.rte.ie/newsnow Follow us on twitter @rtenewsnow and on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RTENewsNow
