Antrim / Morrison / Dales
« on: Thursday 31 August 17 15:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am looking for information on Rev Charles Morrison, who was the minister at First Antrim / Mill Row church around 1840s/1850s.  He married Margaret Oliphant - daughter of William Oliphant (Bookseller and Publisher in Edinburgh).

We know nothing really of Morrison's parentage or family line - save for an assumption that he has a "Dales" family connection.  It was a family practice to use a related family surname as a middle name - and they have a daughter Jane Dales Morrison  (who later marries Andrew Devitt)

Many thanks
Chris

Hi Jane,
Its been quite a while since your original post - and I have only just realised that you cannot PM me if I don't have more that 3 posts myself. Hopefully that will be sorted soon!

I am related to this Oliphant family.  I would be very pleased to share information.  Briefly Ebenezer Oliphant was the youngest son (and youngest child) of William Oliphant, Bookseller, in Edinburgh.  This Oliphant family was heavily involved in bookselling and publishing - you may have come across Oliphant Anderson & Ferrier which was a later incarnation of the business.  Eventually the business became Morrison & Gibb.  This Morrison was a first cousin of Dr William Bruce Oliphant.  My connection is also through the Morrisons.

Regards,
Chris
