My g,g, grandfather William Morrison was born on May 10, 1800. On Sept 2nnd., 1825 he married Jane Drennan in the Presbyterian Church in Killyleagh. He died in 1854 in Killyleagh. Would like a photo of the stone, if there is one. On his sons marriage cert. in 1850 he said he was a pensioner. Would like to find out what his job was in order to get a pension? It seems the family survived the potato famine and must have lived in town or had very good jobs. I did find a reference to a William Morrison in Killyleagh who in 1843 manufactured Mineral Water. Also another that was a Post Master. I will have to find the one who had a wife by the name of Jane Drennan. Any one have a good idea?
