The 1841 census shows a William Morrison age 40 Army Pensioner living in the Hardgate in Aberdeen. With him are Elizabeth age 40 born England, Elizabeth age 10 born England, James age 8 born Ireland, Matilda age 5 born Aberdeenshire and Thomas age 2 born England. Also on the same page is Jane Morrison age 70 possibly his mother but needs checking. There is a possible IGI birth for William Morrison at Old Machar on 17 April 1802 parents Charles Morrison and Jane Fowler. Something to follow up.
