Was Duncan registered as Duncan or could he be John D ?

Sandra

Sandra Report 8 Jan 2010 22:23

On his marriage certificate he is Duncan.

Can not find a Duncan Morrison b 1889 Greenock on either 1891 or 1901 census - not shown as grandchild or visitor etc

Sandra

Sandra Report 8 Jan 2010 22:30

He must be John D, maybe the D stands for Duncan?

Sandra

Sandra Report 8 Jan 2010 22:31

GB, do you know if the McKinnons are related to Morrisons (1891)

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 8 Jan 2010 22:34

Strange you should ask that question.

Some one has added name corrections to show them as Morrison - even more odd is that they are listed as children of Duncan

But as images are not available on Ancestry I can not check but will see if I can find them on earlier census


Unless the ages are also wrong !!

It seems whatever line of my family I try to go down there's always something not quite right. Why can't life be simple lol.

Hi Sandra,
I've been reading your thread as I like to do Scottish research.

Just for information, I found that the McKinnons' living with the Morrison family in 1891, are the children of Charles McKinnon & Sarah Strachan, not Elizabeth who appears to be Charles' wife on the 1881 census.

Charles McKinnon married Sarah Strachan 21/11/1862 Greenock.
It looks like Sarah died sometime after the birth of David McKinnon b. 1873.
I've just got this gut feeling that the McKinnons are related to the Morrisons somehow. I'll see if I can find anything concrete.


Kind Regards
Kath

Sandra...Why do you do this on a Saturday..? !!!

Re Charles McKinnon and Sarah Strachen. (as per Kaths info.)

Charlie was boilermaker and they lived at 3 Belville St.
Sarah died 28 March 1876.

In 1890 Charlie was living at ...guess where...??
16 Trafalger St.
Eldest son Daniel aged 26 died there 21 July 1890.

Sandra...Am back to the Morrison's....

Re.GB's Census post for James M.
Well we are after moving houses again.....because 3 sons of James Morrison (Pastry Baker) were born1893/1894/1899 at No.20 Trafalger St.

In 1882 a one John Morrison plus family were living at No 17.....
Does this seem like history repeating itself....????
