Aberdeenshire / Female mystery writer "Mary Darling"?
« on: Monday 15 December 14 23:42 GMT (UK)  »
My Grandfather, Charles Darling Morrison was born in Peterhead 1899 and died in Toronto, Canada in 1973.  I have been tracing my family tree (with lots of friendly help from a Morrison cousin) and have not found ANY Darlings at all.  There aren't any Darlings on my cousin's tree either.  I was told that the name Darling came from a Morrison cousin named Mary Darling who was a mystery writer in Scotland.  I cannot find any proof of this at all and was wondering if anybody out there could shed some light on this for me?  Thanks again in advance!

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Date of picture?
« on: Monday 15 December 14 22:52 GMT (UK)  »
This photo is a little shy of a 4" x 6".  On the reverse it says "Mama 19 years old".  It was taken in Scotland probably in Aberdeenshire.  If anyone can help with dating the photo, I may be able to identify who's "mama" it is.  Thanks for your help in advance. : )
For some reason, it came up sideways--will try to correct this.  sorry...

Aberdeenshire / John Morrison a Whaler from Aberdeenshire
« on: Monday 22 September 14 18:52 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I'm totally new here and this is my first post.  My great Grandfather was John Morrison (b 1870 d 1919).  He was illegitimate, born in Old Deer Aberdeenshire and his father was George Thomson.  Mother was Catherine Morrison.  Seems that he went by "Morrison" all of his life.  I have photos of him possibly in the Arctic with some Eskimos or native people.  One photo is taken near the wheel of his ship.  Relatives have related that he was a whaler.  Any ideas as to how I can find out where these were taken?  Haven't had much luck on Ancestry with this or any of the mariner sights.  Thanks for any help you can offer!  PS  Thanks to a newly discovered cousin for the information that I DO have.   :)
