Edward Morley: Fenian Brotherhood

Edward Morley was born in Ireland. He was a Civil War Soldier for the 183rd Pennsylvania Infantry for 13 months.

He was recruited in 1863 to the Fenian Brotherhood and later sent to Mountjoy prison where this photo was taken.

If your researching your Irish Civil War Veterans you might want to take a look into Fenian Brotherhood.

There are many mug shots, I haven't found any actual records yet.

The Fenian Brotherhood (Irish: Bráithreachas na bhFíníní) was an Irish republican organisation founded in the United States in 1858 by John O'Mahony and Michael Doheny. It was a precursor to Clan na Gael, a sister organisation to the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Members were commonly known as "Fenians".
