Hi Margaret
I thought I would post this info here to keep all your Morrison threads together - continued from this more recent post
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,282351.0.htmlJust picking up on Lindsay's findings and her last comment....so who was Malcolm McGregor who shows as grandson to Margaret Morrison when reporting her death?....
Well, he wasn't the grandson - it was his wife Janet STEVENSON who was
It took a while to figure out. I had seen the child Margaret who showed with Margaret mother in the 1841 and with Peter in 1851:
1841:William Morrison 60
Sophia Morrison 55
James Morrison 30
Margrate Robertson 4Address: New Market, St Ninians
1851:William Morrison 74
Sophia Morrison 70
James Morrison 46
Thomas Morrison 34
John Morrison 30
Margaret Morrison 40, daughter, b. Hand Loom Weaver (tartan), b. St Ninians
Margaret Morrison 14, Grandaughter, Peicer (wool Mill), b. St Ninians
Peter Morrison 7, Grandson, b. St Ninians
Archibald 2
Address: New Market, Bannockburn, St Ninians
Daughter Margaret Robertson/Morrison looks to have married a Robert STEVENSON:
ROBERT STEVENSON (Coal miner) Marriages:Spouse: MARGARET ROBERTSON
Marriage: 22 JAN 1860 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
Sadly, SP seems to have eaten the cert...it's just not there - frustrating or what
. I have found Margaret Robertson/Morrison's death but father's details were blank (I was hoping maybe for a connection to Peter's father unfortunately without the marriage cert to view/confirm by the time it got to her death nobody knew this info).
She went on to have the following children:
1. MARGARET STEVENSON Birth: 12 APR 1860 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
2. JANET STEVENSON Birth: 20 SEP 1861 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
3. ELIZABETH STEVENSON Birth: 21 FEB 1863 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
4. MARY STEVENSON Birth: 07 OCT 1864 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
5. JOHN STEVENSON Birth: 13 APR 1866 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
6. ROBERT STEVENSON Birth: 29 DEC 1867 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
7. SOPHIA STEVENSONBirth: 20 OCT 1869 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
8. JANE STEVENSON Birth: 15 MAY 1871 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
9. WILLIAM STEVENSON Birth: 26 DEC 1874 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
The family are in Crossmuir, St Ninians in 1871. I think Robert Snr. died between censuses and by 1881 Margaret and children are in Quakerfield, Bannockburn.
Daughter Janet went on to marry Malcolm McGregor, a coal miner b in Port Glasgow Renfrewshire c. 1859 (not that I can find that on IGI) in 1887 and they were living in New Market St Ninians in 1891 with the first of their two children.
1887 MCGREGOR MALCOLM STEVENSON JANET BANNOCKBURN /STIRLING 488/02 0015
Margaret Robertson/Morrison/Stevenson died in 1907:
1904 STEVENSON MARGARET MORRISON 67 BANNOCKBURN /STIRLING 488/02 0080
Well, Margaret, at least that is one more Morrison mystery that is clearer
Regards.
