There were thirteen children born to the Morrison couple with nine of them surviving. The first eight children were born in the districts around Goulburn, Queanbeyan and Braidwood. None of the children were registered but the birthdates are taken from the records of the Catholic churches in the Braidwood area (kindly supplied by the local
Catholic Parish priest). As some of the children were born on the trek to Louth their birthdates are mainly estimated by place of birth.
James Frederick's Death Certificate gives his birth place as Wollondilly N.S.W. in 1828; family oral history makes him the son of a Scottish engineer.
