There is a Canadian Passenger List for Frank Murison born 1882 Aberdeen and aged 24 years - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to Halifax Nova Scotia - arriving 12 April 1906 on the Corinthian.
Also a John Murison 23 years on that same ship. Both cattlemen.

I believe mother Isabella may have remarried. I have just been looking at Frank and Catherine's findagrave entry and there is also a parent record for an Isabella Smith Murrison Williams.

Parents were George Smith and Isabella Murrison who never married. Isabella did make the journey to Lynchburgh where the older brother George lived.

Mary Ann's middle name was Thom rather than Thomson as listed on the shipping record.

I have never found any evidence that Isabel(la) Murison and George Smith married and her marriage
 to Robert Williamson would be her first.

Thank you so much for the confirmation of Catherine's details and that there were no other children.  Very much appreciated!
