Morrison Family
« on: Friday 28 August 09 19:14 UTC (UK) »
Hi, I've been researching my dad's side of the family recently.

His name is William Gordon Morrison 1952, second son of John Gordon Morrison (1925?). He is the son of Mark Coxon Morrison who played rugby for scotland as well as farmed land in Dalmeny. He was married to Mona Oliver. I know that my grandad had other brothers who died in the war however I can't find any information on them.

I have managed to trace my family back to William Morrison who was married to Janet Scott around 1800 and lived in Linlithgow. They had a son named Thomas (1809) who married Ann Giggie (1816?)  and in turn had three sons John (1840), William (1832) and Mark (1838). John married Jane Begg (1845) and they had 4 sons thomas (1869), William (1871), Mark (my great grandad, 1877) and John (1880). Any information on the family would be most appreciated.
