hello Arlene, Have you tried www.freecen.org.uk, there is an Alexander Morrison married to an Elizabeth, with a son in 1861 census aged 1. I tried 1871 freecen but cannot find either parent. This Alexander is a mason, born in banfshire, as is William. regards, Barbara, Melb On Sun, Jul 12th, 2009 at 4:31 PM, Arlene Halme <ahalme@shaw.ca> wrote: > Trying to crack a genealogical wall. > > William MORRISON born about 1857 in Kirriemuir married Agnes > McPHERSON born March 1855 in Kirriemuir they were married in > Kirriemuir Jan 3, 1881.
