Daniel Morrison Glasgow Scotland
« on: Tuesday 29 March 22 00:49 BST (UK) »
Hello
I'm amazed at how much information on a person is found by people on this site.
So I'm going to try my luck as I haven't found much myself.
I am looking for some information on my grandparents genealogies.
They lived in Glasgow Scotland.
My grandfather was Daniel Morrison and he was killed in the 1st World War (buried in France) leaving my grandmother Isabella (née McGee) with a young child, a baby really, my father who was also called Daniel Morrison.
My Dad was raised in the Gorballs where he had other relatives- the Weldons and the Blacks.
Thank you in advance for any information.

Hello Rhm and welcome to RootsChat.

I'm not an expert on Scottish research, however, looking on Scotlands People (free to search, though you need to register and buy credits to download certificates)
https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

there is their marriage in 1911 ref no 644/17 369 at Gorbals.

If you buy credits on the website you can see the image of the marriage certificate and it should give their parents' names.  :D

I'll ask a moderator to move your post to the Glasgow board, I'm sure you'll receive more help there.  :D

Can you give any details of the Weldon family? I had Weldon's in the Springburn and Townhead districts of the city, perhaps one of them went over to the Gorbals?

McCallum - Oban, McKechnie - Ross of Mull Argyll.
Scrim - Perthshire. 
Liddell - Polmont,
Binnie - Muiravonside Stirlingshire.
Curran, McCafferty, Stevenson, McCue - Co Donegal

Hi
It looks like there is a pension record on Ancestry
Daniel Morrison born 18 Sep 1914 son of Daniel
Guardian Isabel Mand

It's on Fold 3 so I can't take a look.

He may have been the private Daniel Morrison died 20.7.1916 Caeronian Scottish Rifles but I can't be sure.

Your starting point is that marriage certificate. Have you viewed it yet? What does it tell you?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank you everyone. I have registered with Scotlands People as suggested and will buy credits to view the marriage certificate.
The Daniel Morrison who was with Scottish Rifles was my Grandfather. I have some photographs of him in the Unit as well as a photo of him in uniform taken with my Grandmother and Father before he left for France in WW1
Many many thanks for your replies

This all will need to be checked with certificates from Scotland's People but as a start using the index on Scotland People there's one McGee Weldon marriage in the Gorbals in 1890 Elizabeth Weldon and William McGee according to the 1901 census they have 3 children Lizzie 9 Bella 7 and William 4 There is a birth in Gorbals 1894 of Isabella McGee
In the Gorbals in 1917 an Isabella McGee or Morrison marries a Thomas March
According to the 1901 census on Ancestry William McGee was 33 born about 1868 Glasgow and his wife Lizzie same age born Ireland
There is also 7 family trees with William and Elizabeth on Ancestry
