Ross & Cromarty / Norman Morrison b1790 Applecross/Gairloch - looking for parents/birth location
« on: Monday 09 October 17 06:41 BST (UK) »
Hi all. I've inherited a family tree from my grandmother, that goes back to Norman MORRISON born 1790 in Scotland. He married Isabella MCLENNAN in 1813. I am descended from their 5th child, William Morrison.
Most of Norman's children were born in APPLECROSS, but he and his wife died in GAIRLOCH. All of their children were born and died in Applecross. However, their marriages seemed to have all taken place in Gairloch. And, Norman and Isabella both died in Gairloch too. It seems like a lot of movement between the two. Given the historical context, I'm trying to figure out why. Any ideas?
Most of all, I'd love to get a generation further back from Norman Morrison. I already know Isabella's parents' names - Mary McKenzie and Norman McLennan.
I'm going to be using the resources here to see if I can find it myself (as the general searches online haven't produced anything) but if you have any tips/info about any of this or these people, please let me know.

P.S. I know this forum says ~1850 so if I should be posting this elsewhere, please advise
