Hello and welcome, 
 I am attempting to make this family tree for my children and my family members  so they can see a little bit of history about their family, and where we all  came from.
 If by chance you think some where down the line you are related to  any of these people please let me know and we might get some more details  happening.

So far most of the information has come from the assistance,  of a family member,  MR John Capp who arranged a family reunion in Victoria  on the 12th of october 2002, from that and my own research I have been able to  find out some family information and history of The Morton family that came  from Ireland many years ago,

Also I have recently come across research and information relating to the  Mortons who Moved to Canada "will update as I go along"

Also as I go I intend to add about a ship wreak of
   The Earl of Charlemont which sailed from Liverpool on 13th March, 1853 with  366 passengers plus crew.  The Captain was William Gardner - his first port of  call in Australia was to be Port Phillip Bay before taking the majority of his  passengers to Sydney. On the ship records are these members of the MORTON  family,
 John MORTON - age 50 ,   Anne Eliza CUMINE (MORTON) - age 48 Their children 
 James MORTON 34
 Fanny MORTON 21 
 George MORTON 24 
 Mary Ann MORTON 19
 Emily Morton 16
 Robert MORTON 15
 Selina MORTON 10
 Walter MORTON 8

also on the list are the names of Ann Elisa MORTON 23 and Ann MORTON 21 going  on my research I would say these are children from John's first marriage and  will come back to this at a later date...

please feel free to have a look around and maybe use this link to make your  own family tree.
 Thanks have fun Simone...
