Can anyone please find any information on Mary Munro Thomson Morrison please? I would like a birth and any Census lookups on her if possible, please.
She married Archibald McAulay in 1933 in Greenock, before this she was married to a Thomas Jenkins(1925)
On the marriage cert to Archie, it looks like she was 50 something? (not very clear) Her parents were Angus Morrison and Margaret Thomson
Any help with this would be really grateful.

Thank you.

Sandra

T,
Thank you very much. I won't get any census's on her though because Scottish 1911 aren't out yet, I was hoping to see if she had any siblings.

Thank you,

Sandra

Just did a free search on SP, there are 6 pages of Morrison born Greenock 1898-1908. Not a lot of help though lol.

Thank you Marion,
I'm finding that with most of the names I'm looking for, why can't they have unusual names lol.
Thank you for trying.

Have you got the parents on the 1901 census?
If not what accupation or age was Angus?

Just searched for Angus and Margarets marriage. Nothing came up with those names and spelling.

Sandra

Sandra Report 25 Oct 2009 11:55

Angus was born in 1880 in South Uist, he was illigitimate, his mother was Margaret Bowie, she married Dugald Morrison in 1882.
On marriage cert for Angus it looks like Aerated Heater Salesman?


(I have to pop out shopping, be about an hour, sorry)

Helen,
Thank you very much.
Is Jessie another name for Jane (or vice versa?)

Sandra

Helen

Helen Report 25 Oct 2009 15:02

Jane, Janet, Jean, Jessie, Jenny ... are all interchangable.

Can you figure out the difference in the parents ages .. via census and marriage ?

Sandra

Sandra Report 25 Oct 2009 15:22

Helen,
Duncan was born 25 DEC 1889.

Helen Report 25 Oct 2009 15:32

Think that previous census for 1901 must be wrong.

The parents would have been too young to have been married in 1881.

Popped on before I get my tea on.

The Two Angus had me thinking and I came up with the idea that although there was an Angus he wasnt names after Dougalla father so they named his son Angus too.
So doing my detective work i found this on IGI
