On 'Old Scottish Records' they mention two Henry Morgans.
One trailed Glasgow 1832 on ship 'Southworth' to Tasmania, Australia.
What is 'Back Wynd' a town?
If I was to purchase this record would I see any information on his mother Ms Taylor?
I have found information in a Scottish newspaper that this Henry on 'Southworth' was a stowaway and made his way back to Scotland from Sydney, Australia.
I'm thinking he maybe the Henry Morgan above trailed 1819 and sent to Sydney, Australia on 'Agamemnon. I have both Henry Morgan's convict records in Australia.

A wynd is a narrow street, or laneway.
Black Wynd was an alleyway that came off Trongate in the oldest part of Glasgow.

You have not included information about the record. What is it, and where does it come from?
My guess, is it probably won't contain much information about his mother.

Highly unlikely, unless she was involved in whatever he was convicted of.
What do you mean by 'trailed'?
