If he died in Scotland, his parents should be named on his death cert, but that would only be if the informant knew their details

These are the only Matthew Morton baptisms showing in Scotlands People 1832-1840

Did he marry in Scotland?

If he did, the parents will be named on the marriage cert

Shirley - thank you so much for this info which confirms a few things for me. Still looking for his death.

A cousin of his lived (and died) in Michigan, hence the query.

Can't answer the question. But have you looked on Scotlands people for his baptism

Found this (on Mundia):
Matthew Morton
05 May 1836 - Mar 1909
Born: Craige, Ayr, Scotland
Died: Muskegon, Michigan, USA

Would his death cert. name his parents?

Much obliged.
