Hello All. My Grandmother was Jane Morrison.b 12-4-1843. She married Alex,Munro 6-8-1859. Her parents were John Morrison and Ann McIntyre. Her brothers were John 4-5-1834 Alexander 26-3-1836 William 14-9-1838 Charles26-12-1840 My Grandparents had 15 children of which 13 grew up,my mother being the youngest. She used to talk of a relation called William Morrison who went to Kingston Jamaica and was Knighted to Sir Wm. for services there. I think this would be in the 1930's. Can anyone help.? Thank you. Jean Hartley. Perth W.A.

Have a look at http://www.sfw.org.uk/books/summerland.html. There is an item there about William Morrison (1838-1902) who was born in Grange on 10 September 1838 and went to Jamaica. The IGI lists William, baptised 14 September 1838, among the nine children of John Morrison and Ann McIntyre, so it looks as if this is your man. Then have a look at http://scotskirk.anngel.com.jm/ministers.htm where you will see mentioned a second William Morrison, son of the first one, who was knighted. HTH Anne
