New Famkily Page: NORMAN MORRISON (1847-1915)

Please post comments and queries about the NORMAN MORRISON FAMILY here.

I am Maryann Morrison descendant of both Angus and Norman Morrison family both shown here. I have information on my family that I am more than willing to share and I am always looking for more information as well. Angus was the father of Norman. Norman's son Angus was my great grandfather and his son Angus was my grandfather whose son Norman is my father.

Thank you again for making this site.

Hi there Gary

Was wondering abuot Ella May "winn" morrison - where did you find the name Winn from? I believe she was actually the daughter of Katherine Parres before she was married - see here:

Remember that my great grandmother Katherine Parres (mathisen?) married Angus son of Charlotte and Norman Morrison.

Hi cousin Maryann,
Your grandfather Angus was born 5 years before my great grandfather William Robert(born 1879). I'm assuming that William Robert may have been named after his grand father William Robert Smith and I am William Robert Morrison III(born 1971)
By any chance do you have a family trees from Norman(born 1847) back to the Bruce's and Swains?
Mine only goes back to Patrick Cunningham's daughter Ann marrying Angus in 1846 and from Charlotte Smith's side to Ann Swain and William Robert Smith.
I used to have them and can't find the printed version.
Thanks much,
Bill Morrison
Fort Frances, ON

Sorry, the family tree would be from your Grandfather Angus(born 1874) back which would include his mother Charlotte Smith.
Thx
Bill

That’s as far back as I have.

Hi I don't really have much more either some docs tho. Feel free to get in touch not sure if you can direct message but I am on facebook under pokerwoman

My Dad just sent me the complete family tree going back to James Swain(born 1766), William Hart Smith(b 1760- Robert Smith's father), andWilliam and Margaret Bruce(Benjamin Bruce's parents-no birth dates)
I just sent a copy to Gary and will try to Facebook you on my wife's account as she has the FB messaging on her phone.

Thanks Bill, I received the Tree, but unfortunately not much more I can do in that regard. Most of my work is with the Canadian stuff.
