Jack;I'm a wee bit intrigued by your reference to Mary
Morrison. I recall my mother mentioning who I thought was a cousin or aunt of hers was a lady named Mary
Morris or Morrison.
My mother was Eileen Mary MacDonald b. 1921 at Mulgrave, NS d/o Joseph Vincent MacDonald b. 1891 at Havre Bouche, NS (Harbour au Bouche) & Anda Josephine "Josie" nee: Isaaksen. Josie's mother was Mary Ann Macrae (first married to a Sutherland, then to Jacob Isaaksen)
Vincent was the son of Duncan MacDonald born abt. 1852 & Elizabeth Kehoe/Keough born abt. 1862
Duncan was the son of Angus & Emma MacDonald. I believe that
Emma's maiden name was Cosh or similar sounding surname.
Another relatives name that I recall was Stewart Dunbar.
The names and birth years of my grandfather's siblings were James b. abt. 1875/76Mary E., b. abt. 1878/79
Daniel b. abt. 1881/82Catherine J., b. abt. 1882/83
Angus b. abt. 1885/86Elizabeth M., b. abt. 1888/89
Teresa b. abt 1892/93Annie b. abt. 1895/96
Emma b. abt. 1899/1900
