Inverness / Morrison's of Harris who Emigrated to Nova Scotia
« on: Sunday 30 August 20 21:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am doing research on my 5th great grandparents. I am the 4th great-granddaughter of William Morrison (b. ~ 1823 in Nova Scotia) and Eliza Munro (b. 1824). Based on Canadian census records, I know William's father was born in Scotland, and am fairly certain these ancestors were from the western isles. Looking on ancestry.com, some people have William's parents listed as Daniel Morrison and Catherine, however, with no sources. I have found some military records for a Daniel Morrison of Harris who possibly immigrated to Nova Scotia in the early 1800's, though I cannot find a record of his marriage or children to confirm.

Any information on good resources that could help me track this side of the family down (either from Scotland or Nova Scotia) would be much appreciated! Was it common for people to emigrate after or during serving in the British army?

Hi David,

I saw your message but can't seem to be able to reply! Will try contacting support here. Another option is you could just message me your e-mail.

Hi,

My 5th great grandparents are also Donald MacKenzie and Elisabeth Duncan (through their child
John Mackenzie, my 4th great grandfather, born 1800). I am unsure if this is the same Donald who married Charlotte Isles or a different one. Any information would be much appreciated.

Christina
