Title: MORRISON: Biggins, LKS, 1930s+
Post by: bmanson on Friday 19 August 05 00:44 BST (UK)

Looking for William and Mary (McNAIR) Morrison whose son James was born in Biggins about 1832.  James married Margaret MANSON in So. Leith in 1858.  On the marriage cert. William Morrison, a weaver, was not listed as deceased in 1858.
Aside from the dilemma about where is Biggins (?), I would like to find any trace of thei Morrision family.
Thank you.
Brian

Brian,

I've never heard of Biggins. I think you may be looking for BIGGAR, Lanarkshire.

There is/was a Biggins farm near Mossend (between Bellshill and Motherwell), Lanarkshire.
