MORRISON Family Isle of Harris
« on: Wednesday 09 October 19 19:40 BST (UK) »
I have these bare bones of early generation of my family
and hoping you can flesh them out for me  ;D


Finlay Morrison c 1750 Strond Isle of Harris  m?  Wife? Children?

son
Kenneth Morrison c 1780 m?    Mary MacSween
* John   m  Ann McKay
* Sarah  m in  Nova Scotia  Christopher McLeod
* Donald c1808 m1831 in Nova Scotia Catherine McAskill
* Angus  c1811  died 1885 in Nova Scotia
* Mary    m    Duncan Kempt
* Catherine    m  Norman Ferguson
* Anaeas   m  Jane McKay
* Margaret


I am unsure if Kenneth and Mary emigrated to Nova Scotia with their children
but seeking birth confirmation for all in Scotland.  And marriage dates/death dates where possible.

Hope this is clear

Have you tried www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

I'd be surprised if there were records for Harris so far back but this book may be of interest?

You can always send an email to enquire as to what you're looking for etc.

I know Mr Lawson is very good with replies.
