Hi Marp,
The data I have been given ( from Olive Morison ) tells me that Alexander Morison was born on the 30/10/1794). He married Helen Garnoch on 3/9/1830. I have detailed their children on another post.
Alexander was the son of George Morison ( born ( 16/11/1761 ) and Margaret Lessells ( christened on 12/9/1756 ). George had a sister, Margaret ( christened on the 24/11/1756 ). Margaret married James Garnoch ( christened 15/11/1757 ) on the 18/8/1787. James was the daughter of Ann Lessels. I can only assume that Ann Lessels and James Lessels were related.
There seems to be another family intermarriage as well. Alexander Morison married Helen Garnoch on the 3/9/1830. Helen is the daughter ( born 29/9/1798 ) of the James Garnoch mentioned in the previous paragraph. This would mean Alexander and Helen were first cousins ! Furthermore, my chart shows that Helen had a younger brother named James Morison born on the 6/9/1800. I assume his full name was James Morison Garnoch.
Alexander Morison also had a brother named James born on the 28/1/1793. It seems the name James was very popular. It occurs in 5 consecutive generations.
I see you have some details of Alice Rosa Whitcher. the same tree also has some details of her descendants. It seems that here only son died as a baby, so this branch of the name died.
This is all from a family tree which I obtained from Olive Morison. I don't know which part of Scotland these people lived in.
I hope this is useful for you. I have just started using RootsChat.com so I don't know many of its features.
Cheers, Bruce.
