Is this the record you have from the IGI? :-



ROBERT M. MORROW
Male

Event(s):
Birth:
1827 Halifax, Halifax, Nova Scotia
Christening:
Death:
1885
Burial:

Parents:
Father: JOHN MORROW
Mother: MARIE ANNE DUFFUS

The record is submitted rather than taken from parish records so should be viewed with caution.

I don't think civil registration had started by then in Canada so I don't think you are likely to find his actual date of birth.

there is a death in 1876 of a Robert Morrow aged 35 in Shelburn but that is all ... in the IGI that Robert married Catherine Firth in Shelburn 1874

wife Helen S Murrow's death is there, 1894 aged 66, widow, merchant, Halifax

also the birth of at least one child who must be theirs

Morrow, William Stairs ... Halifax, Halifax County ... 1869


nobody here really has a secret cache of information about people's birthdates :-)

you are asking about events at a time when records may not have been kept, certainly birthdates were almost never recorded even if baptisms were

'John Morrow who married Mary Ann Duffus 1796 - 1836'

those are his birth and death dates ? where is that information from ? if they married in England there might be a record ...

... right, this is another submitted record ...

JOHN MORROW
Death: 1862
Father: ROBERT MORROW
Mother: MARY ATKINSON
Spouse: MARIE ANNE DUFFUS
Marriage: (1821) (Halifax, Halifax, Nova Scotia)

the dates seem to be different from yours ...

oh my goodness, the Nova Scotia site has this

Morrow, John ... Duffus, Mary Ann ... Halifax County 1819

it is the marriage bond, have you seen it ? you can see it at that site

possibly if the bond was signed in 1819 the marriage did not take place until 1821, I don't know how it usually worked but that seems a little long
