Surnames: Steele Morrison Simpson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YdJBAIB/314.1 Message Board Post: Hi Nancy: I'm trying to trace a Steele family from Iron Mountain, Michigan as well. See below. Good chance that the Steeles came from the Miramichi River valley in NB; lots of them there. The Morrisons's definitely did. (Hannah Simpson below is my ggg aunt.) Name: ALEXANDER STEELE ————————————————————————————————————————————— Spouse: ALICE MORRISON ————————————————————————————————————————————— Birth: 10 Aug 1873 Death: 4 Jun 1926 Father: JOHN MORRISON (1848-1905) Mother: HANNAH SIMPSON (1846-1881) Children ————————————————————————————————————————————— 1 M: FRED Morrison STEELE Birth: 10 Aug 1896 ————————————————————————————————————————————— 2 M: WALTER Alexander STEELE Birth: 20 Apr 1898 Death: Apr 1970 Ypsilanti, Washtenaw Co., MI1 ————————————————————————————————————————————— 3 F: MARGARET Eloise STEELE Birth: 1 Jan 1901 ————————————————————————————————————————————— 4 F: EDNA Irene STEELE (Twin) Birth: 2 Jul 1905 ————————————————————————————————————————————— 5 F: ERMA Isabelle STEELE (Twin) Birth: 2 Jul 1905 Notes for ALICE MORRISON Something is fishy with the birth dates of Alice and Fred; highly unlikely that a premature baby of Alice’s age would survive in those days. Or more likely Fred was born earlier than indicated. Sources 1. “US Social Security Death Index,” RootsWeb, SS#: 367-07-9758.
