I have the historical images of the deaths of Andrew and Daughter Harriett from BDM Qld. I found most of the other information from ancestry.com. I could not see the image of who came out on the Jumna, and with all of the other information, Daughter Harriet did not come up. I knew about Annie(my grandmother) and Alice from information given to me by my mother. I also have a copy of the newspaper (my cousin has the original) of an article on Andrew Morrison, in the Albert & Logan news, 25 December 1909.

The 1860 Middleton-Morrison marriage gives bride living in Tullyveery townland which marches Ardigon-

Just to clarify details from Ancestry Ireland marriage record- Irish marriages do not list religion of bride and groom but their database assigns religion to the couple based on place of marriage. Also, the designations 'husband's witness' and 'wife's witness' are also their own invention. The certificate will (almost always) list two witnesses and only their signatures are shown.

I remember seeing birth and other relatives for the Margaret Jane Middleton who died in 1880 and that family lived in Ballywillwill (west of Downpatrick). The page from death register says Clough for the sub-district so although there may be some connection they are probably not closely related.

Just posting on the off chance, but is the following possibly related?

An Ellen Morrison and a William Andrew (father John, a labourer), both recorded as living in Ardigon, got married on 17 January 1866, the transcription of the civil marriage record I've seen (Downpatrick district) gives the bride's father as Andrew Morrison - a labourer - and one of the witnesses was a Robert Middleton.  A 'pay to view' image of the original civil marriage registration entry is available on the General Register Office Northern Ireland website, but the same should become available to view for free later this year on the 'IrishGenealogy' website, if their plans to upload images come to fruition.

For those placing weight on naming convention, note that a daughter Mary was born to this couple at Tullyveery on 9 November 1866:

Then a daughter Harriet was born at Tullyveery on 26 January 1868:

There was a son William in 1870:
