I note on the 1851 census on freecen there are a number of Morton families in  Angus (Forfarshire).

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the site for a range of Scottish Records, it is free to search and a small fee to view records.

Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.

Scottish People  do charge,  have information on Scotland, I was looking for any Marriage of Baptisms. I image I will not find a census in 1841 for them.

Civil registration of births, deaths & Catholic marriages in Ireland began 1864 (from 1845 for non-Catholic marriages). For earlier dates you need to see if church records might survive but remember not all records are available online. So, to start with, you need to have an idea what religion the family might have been in Ireland.
If they were Catholic many parish registers are online (free) although starting dates vary according to parish and very few burial registers were kept.

See PRONI's Guide to Church Records to see what other church records there might be and where they might be available-

The first complete Irish census is 1901 and only fragments of earlier ones for a few areas survive.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
