MORRISON, JANE Ca 1913

Source: Old Family Photo

Jane Morrison (1829-1917), was born in Tubbercurry, County 
Sligo, Ireland, and as a bride, immigrated to Canada with 
her husband, Matthew Morrison about 1852. Jane's parents 
were William Morrison and Mary Ann Shaw.  On their arrival 
in Canada the young couple first resided in Peel County 
where their first child, Mary Ann was born in 1853. A short 
time later they relocated to Arthur Township,  Wellington 
county taking up land at Lot 21, Concession 11, there they 
remained for 39 years.  In 1894 they moved from Arthur 
Township to Lot 100, Concession D, Minto Township.   A 
sister Margaret, Mrs. Richard Wilkin, also resided in Minto 
Township.  It is believed that Jane and Margaret had 
additional siblings including perhaps a brother Hugh.    

Additional Comments:
Jane and Matthew are paternal great grandparents with their 
daughter, Eliza Jane (w/o John Officer Lyons) my 
grandmother.
