You have been very vague about the information you are looking for, so it is quite difficult to know where and how to assist.
Perhaps be more specific in your request?

Thank you Neale for this information!

I unfortunately had to be vague because I was asked by my elderly 4th cousin if I could help her find out anything about her grandfather Cameron Morrison.
I’m sure she will appreciate anything I can pass on to her.

Thankyou for your help!!!

Thank-you once again and to my limited knowledge, she has the information about Cameron and his wife and their children.
I believe she was looking at gaining info on his parents and grandparents and ancestors! Where they came from and burial info.

Catherine Myrtle McLeod
This is a possibility for her in 1861 census Campsie Stirlingshire
Archibald McLeod – Head, 46, Ag labourer, born Campsie
Mary McLeod – wife, 39, born Glasgow
Catherine M McLeod – daughter, 8,  born Polmont
James Hunter – boarder, 4 months, born Torrance


Possible marriage: Archibald Cameron McLeod -16 May 1870 in Campsie to Mary Kyle Murray
Not sure if Catherine Myrtle is a daughter of one or other parent before they married.

I recommend getting Catherine Myrtle’s marriage certificate to get names of her parents.
