When my mother was a little girl she was told this story and passed it on to her children,i in turn have passed it on to mine.Many years ago on the Isle of Lewis,my Grt Grt Grt Grandfather met an Irish catholic,his name was William Morrison.When William told his father he wanted to marry his irish catholic there was outrage,my mother said way back on Lewis the Morrisons were staunch Orangeman and Williams father was haveing none of it,he told William if he went ahead and married his irish catholic he and the family would never have anything to do with him again and he would be thrown off Lewis and banned from ever returning.William did go ahead and marry his Irish catholic,they were married in Ireland and thats where my Grt Grt Grandfather John Morrison was born in 1835.The funny thing is John left Ireland and went back to Scotland and he too married an irish catholic in 1851.I am doing family research at the moment and can find no connection to the Isle of Lewis,but my mother said as a little girl she ofton heard the grown ups talking about The Isle of Lewis and of the hate for English,Irish and catholics.Even today i know of places myself as an English person wouldnt dare visit in Scotland.We went to my uncle Toms 80th birthday party 3 years ago in Girvan Ayrshire and i was telling him that there is more irish in his family than scottish,he wasnt too pleased but its true.Isnt it funny how old habits never die.I would be interested to hear from anyone about this story.Anne.
