Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2014: confirms son Edward was born approximately 1812 in Waterford, Ireland. Therefore, father Simon had to be alive at least 10 months prior to birth of Edward.
- http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/morris_edward_11E.html: biography of son Edward. Again, Simon would have been alive at least 10 months prior to son's birth in approximately 1813.
