A tip for those researching their family history:

Senior and Junior usually denotes father and son but not always -- sometimes 
junior can refer to a nephew:

An example of this I found recently in the Registry of Deeds

Book 350 page 435 memorial number 237290 registered 11 July 1783
A memorial of a deed poll dated 13 Jan 1783 between Robert Morrison senior of 
Drummore (Ballykelly, Co L'Derry) and Robert Morrison of Drummore junior his 
nephew.

Family tradition says that the Robert Morrison one of the 13 to shut the gates 
at the famous siege of Derry was from this family (oral tradition).

The Registry of Deeds is perhaps the only archive in Ireland to escape 
unscathed over the years and the records are intact from 1708. A must for 
eighteenth century research.
