How sure are you that Margaret Morrison was born at Alloa ? Using the I.G.I. I can find no record of her being born there but there is a Margaret Morrison born 10 Sep 1836 who was baptised 13 Sep 1836 at Urquhart & Logie Wester, Ross and Cromarty. Should she be the correct one she had a sister Catherine Forbes Morrison born 06 Sep 1838 at Connon, Cononbridge, Ross and Cromarty, the parents being Donald Morrison and Margaret McLennan who were married 04 Jan 1834 Urray, Ross and Cromarty.

hi bervonian - gosh you have been busy - it was you I spoke to last night my time (west australia) on the chat line - or was it someone else.
anyway I have written to this cousin who belongs to my laing side of the family tree - I had margaret morrison on my gt grandmothers christina laing wedding cert - down as her parents a margaret morrison and james laing with their marriage 31 dec 1855 dunfermline
the information about margaret morrison and birth date I got of my cousin who I found on the genes reunited site -
I remember trying to find margaret morrisons parents in fife on the scotlandspeople site - but had no luck -
so I have written to my cousin to find out what she has on margaret morrison or where she got that info.
will let you know when she replies - thankyou for all the trouble you have went to - do appreciate your time you have put in - thanking you - bambie

Hi Bambie,
No, twasn't me on the chat line; I'm rarely on it !
It may just be a coincidence, and we have two Margaret Morrisons born on the same day. However, there is another way of finding out where and when 'your' Margaret Morrison was born.
In the wedding certificates of 1855 there was a requirement to show, in addition to the ages of the bride and groom, their birthplace and where and when registered. This information only applied to 1855.
I reckon it would be well worth getting a sight of the certificate via Scotlandspeople to confirm (or not as the case might be) that she was born at Alloa.
Bervonian.
