James Frederick Morrison of Louth, NSW, Australia

Question

I am trying to find sources to confirm life details of James Frederick Morrison of Louth, NSW, Australia. He married Elizabeth Dowling in 1856 and had 13 kids (some of whom died very young). James was born in Wonodillyshire, New South Wales, Australia some where between 1828 and 1837 and died in March 1921 in Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia. I am interested in collaborating with anyone who may have sources to confirm his parents names, confirmed birth date, certificates etc.

Answer 1

Have you tried TROVE ?

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/228357036

This appears to be a death notice for a "James Francis MORRISON."  There was only 1 death recorded for that time for a "James F. MORRISON" in the NSW Deaths Index.

Thanks Vivian. I didn't even know about Trove...brilliant. Also very helpful to find him called James Francis. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Answer 2

If you are going to get NSW certificates transcriptions were, at one time, considerably cheaper.
