Events

• Occupation: Printer, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

• Occupation: grocer, Flower Hill and Express Agent, Furniture, Grocer, 301 Water St, Between 1864 and 1865, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. MORRISON
. William D. grocer, Flower Hill.
. William D. [Advertisers list: Express Agent, Furniture, Grocer, 301 Water St.]

Despite the different spelling of the surname in Hutchinson's, I believe this to be the same man who was shown to be residing at "Springdale" house at that time, whose name was spelled correctly as Morison. In addition, I believe that both entries above pertained to the same man and that in addition to being a stationer/printer he was also a shopkeeper.

Notes

150815:

There is an enormous amount of information on this family line in Jean Carter Stirling's family tree, developed in cooperation with her cousin Gert Crosbie. However, because it is peripheral to my interest in the Carter line I have not copied it over here.

!BACKGROUND:His parents were Katherine Downie and Donald Wm.
Morison; when he was about 9 years old, his parents emigrated
to Pictou, N.S; there he learned the printing trade and
worked in the Maritimes, and Boston; Next he went to Demarara (now
Guyana) until 1845, when he first came to Newfoundland;He worked at hi s trade,
then as a bookkeeper with David Steele; In 1861 (age 41) he started hi s own
grocery/general business; later was elected to the first City Counci l in St.
John's; He died at 72.
