I dont know why he would have put Greenock Morton
I had a look to see if maybe Greenock Morton may have been named after
a family but apparently the people who formed the club named it after
the street they lived in (Morton Terrace)

Maybe your John was an ardent Greenock Morton fan! Strange the reference to Morton (or at least until we figure it out). The only other reference to Morton is as a parish in Dumfrieshire which is why I was double checking.
Elaine, searching for addresses in Greenock starting with Mort* brings up only the reference you have found to the football team origins, namely Morton Terrace as an address.

Last chance saloon for clues  You said that from his marriage to Mary Jane he only had boys (5 with one deceased). What were the names of the living boys in order showing in 1911? From his second marriage to ?, were there more children born?
Scots are so good normally with some form of naming pattern that it may be worth looking at.

I know you have his name a John Brown Morton
just wondering if Morton could have been the middle name
on the Inverclyde site
there is a birth of a son to a WM, J, M, Brown who
is a warehouse keeper 1879
I know it may be way off I was just looking for possibilities

if you are going to follow it up on the census
the address on the birth is Nelson Street Greenock
and there are other children born to this couple on the site
but sadly it doesn't give their names
I will keep an eye out for anything else
good luck
