Hi, Basic info from the IGI
Jacob Morrison b1897 at Greysteel, d 1975 at Greysteel
Married Jane Mary Currie at Greysteel in 1918
Jane Mary Currie b 2 Sept 1897 at Omagh Co. Tyrone

I have a couple of other sources which I will look up when I can get on to them. I also have an elderly cousin who farmed all his life in Greysteel. He may know something.

Hi, Extra info.

Co. Londonderry Callander of Wills
Jacob Morrison d 26 June 1887. Probate 1890. Residence Greysteel Limavady Co. Derry

Griffiths Valuation 1858/9
Jacob Morrison held House, offices (barns etc) and almost 28 acres of land in Greysteel More, parish of Faughanvale, from the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers.

1831 Census.
In the parish of Faughanvale there is only one Morrison, John. Unfortunately the townland is not given.

       I think that the older Jacob could have been Father/ Grandfather.
Hope this helps.

Regards
Morrison Stewart
