He was a mason by trade and living at Crofton, in the County of Ross & Cromarty, Scotland before he came to Australia.
The Morrison family go back to the 1500s on Isle of Lewis in the outer Hebrides

Does any one have information whether either 1841 or the 1851 census mention John Morrison and wife Isabella or Hector Morrison and wife Mary and where they lived? (in Crofton or perhaps somewhere else nearby)?
