Biography

William Morrison was born in 1832, baptized on 7 March 1832 at Forglen, Banff. His parents were named as John Grant Morrison and Mary Fratar.

William married Cecilia Storrar about 1858-59 and they had children:

1. William Morrison, born 24 Nov 1859, Forgelen, Banffshire

2. Alexander Storrar Morrison, born 17 Feb 1861, Forglen, Banffshire

3. John Grant Morrison, born 1862, location unknown

4. Mary Fratar Storrar, born 1863, location unknown

5. Cecilia Morrison, born 21 March 1867, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire;

6 & 7. Andrew Morrison, born 21 Sep 1868, Forglen, Banffshire William Morrison, born 21 Sep 1868, Forglen, Banffshire

This family migrated to Canada about 1869. They were shown in the 1871 & 1881 censuses at Bentinck, Grey County, Ontario. But in 1881 the wife's name was written "Secilia".

The 1901 census in Grey County, Ontario, showed Cecilia lived with a grandson, William Grant Morrison, age 5. But where was her husband, William? Away from home again, or deceased?

William appears to have died in 1921 and was buried - along with his wife - at Owen Sound, Ontario.
