Hi Elaine,
How much information to you have on the family?
Alexander (b1811) married Elizabeth JOSS (b circa 1815 Aberdeen) in 1840 at Old Machar, Aberdeen. They had 9 children -
Jean b circa 1842 Old Machar, Jane b circa 1843 Old Machar, John b 1844 Gamrie, James b circa 1847 Gamrie, Robert b 1848 Gamrie, Isabella b 1850 Gamrie , Mary b 1855 Gamrie, William b 1859 Marnoch and Elizabeth b 1862 Marnoch.
The 1851 Census has the family living in Macduff. The 1861, 71 and 81 Census has them at Brokenfolds, Marnoch. Alexander's occupation - Master Mason.
I am researching my great grandmother Jessie Morrison born 1869 in Aberchirder to John Morrison (carpenter) and Jessie Fleming (domestic servant.)
In the 1871 census there is a Jessie Morrison listed as a niece living with Alexander Morrison (Jr) (The 1851 census shows there was also a son named Alexander in the family.) In the 1881 census Jessie is listed as a granddaughter living with Alexander (Sr).
I can't find a Jessie Morrison with the family in 1891 however by 1890 my great grandmother emigrated to Canada.
Do you have any information on the John Morrison in the family?
Thank you Terry
