I am searching for any further information on my great great grandfather, Andrew Morrison.
Born Belfast?? 1804? Came to Australia , 1888, and Died at Upper Coomera, Queensland 1910.
He was married to Mary Leard/Laird in Crossgar - no year. I have no further information of any other children, birth places, year married etc.

Also his daughter, Harriett (b 1840 Aedigon), who married Robert Middleton (b 1840 Aedigon), in Killyleagh in 1860. They too, with their children, came to Australia in 1888.
I know their children but not Robert's parents or any other siblings on both sides.
Regards
Morrison - Killyleagh, Down ; Middleton- Killyleagh, Down; Crick - Middlesbrough & London;

Is this the source of your information?

What BDM certificates do you have for the people you are researching?

Thanks for the newspaper information. I didn't have that.
I have the BDM for Andrew Morrison and Harriett Middleton but not Robert Middleton.
I read that there are six other children. I was hoping for some information about them, or any further information about Andrew's parents

IGI  marriage
MIDDLETON Robert  m.  MORRISON Harriet  18 Feb 1860 Killyleagh, Downpatrick, Ireland

MIDDLETON family arrived 13 Oct 1888 "Jumna"

Robert MIDDLETON died QLD 1919. Harriett MIDDLETON d. 1924. Harriett would likely be available as source of information for death certificate of husband Robert. In which case it is not very promising to see little information on his death index ie. his mother's name.

What occupation do you see for Andrew MORRISON on his death certificate?

Andrew Morrison's death certificate states that he was a labourer. He died at Baker's creek in Upper Coomera. He is buried in the Upper Coomera cemetery.

Now I will need to investigate further. The Children I have for Robert & Harriett are -
Robert Middleton - born 1865. Died 1945 in Australia
Margaret Jane Middleton Born 1866. Died 1931 in Australia. ? Confused about this other with the same name who died 1880?
Alice. Born 1869 Died 1942 In Australia
Anna (my grandmother) Born 1877. Died 1957 in Australia.
I have no record of there being another child named Harriett.
This information came mostly from ancestry.com but I will try those other sites mentioned.
I was hoping to find out Harriett Middleton 6 siblings if I could so I could persue the Morrison side.
Thanks for all your help. It has given me lots of further information.
