  • Notes 

    • 1911 Canada Census: on familysearch.org. Thomas Morrison, 14, b Dec 1896 in Alta, living with fatherJohn49 [should be James] Morrison. Location: Subdistrict43, District9, British Columbia, Canada.

      NOTE: in 1912, Tom tried to cross into the US. His border-crossing card says "debarred", "infancy", "not 16 years old". Tom was only 15 and his trip to the border was paid for by his father, according to the Border-Crossing card. May not be true, of course. He was 5'3-1/2", blule eyes, light brown hair, short, medium build.
