[B]irth recorded and signed by Norman Morrison on his Attestation Paper for the Canadian Over-seas Expeditionary Force are 13 Sep 1878...Please disregard my previous suggestion that Norman's place of birth was Barvas and his family lived on Lionel St. or Rd. I understood Barvas was a town or community. I just discovered Barvas was a parish and included the community of Ness, so 42 Lionel would make sense if they lived in a crofter's house in Lionel. The 1861 census also lists the address as Lional...In the 1891 Scotland Census [link removed per FAG protocol], Norman, age 12, his siblings and his mother are living with Norman's paternal grandfather, Norman Morris, 72, still in Barvas. That is consistent with the story that Norman's father, Donald, a fisherman per the 1881 census, drowned when Norman was 12.
