Note that the census taker made numerous mistakes. He had them all as of Irish extraction, including Mom Morry, even though he had her place of birth as Scotland! He had Dad Morry listed as "housewife" where his occupation should be instead of Mom Morry. But the information on him is found in the line above and shows him as a cod fisherman earning $600/yr. He also had her listed as an RC. Then on the next page he has Uncle Bill and Uncle Reg listed as being of English extraction even though they are in the same family as the others.
