Hi all.
Frank Smith Murison was born in Cluny, Aberdeenshire, Scotland in 1881, parents George Smith and Isabel(la) Murison who never married. As an adult he gave his name as Frank Murrison Smith.
According to the 1921 census, Frank arrived in Canada in 1905 and settled in the Montreal region.
Frank died in Lynchburg, Virginia, USA in 1966, presumably visiting the family of his late brother George who had died there in 1953 and where his mother had died earlier in 1935 - or possibly his niece if she still lived in the area:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=777641.0Frank's Virginia death record lists his wife's name as Catherine Donald Smith. The only online tree other than mine that has this family I have found presumes Donald was Catherine's surname but I suspect it may be her middle name. The 1921 census indicates she was born in Scotland about 1883 and arrived in Canada in 1905. I have not found a marriage for Frank and Catherine in Scotland.
Catherine died in 1962 and they are buried together at Cimetière Mont-Royal, Outremont.
The 1921 census shows 4 daughters, Lena (13), Bella (12), Lillian (7) and Kathleen (1).
I am interested in finding marriage details for Frank & Catherine and confirming Catherine's maiden name.
I would also like to find out if there there were any more children after the 1921 census but I appreciate that is less than 100 years ago so could be restricted.
Any assistance gratefully received.
