T.S. is buried with his wife, Beatrice Hilda Morrisey (1891-1967). T.S. Morrisey's mother is buried near where her son and daughter-in-law are buried. The location is Mount Royal Cemetery, Montreal.

Home of Thomas Sydney Morrisey on Cedar Avenue, Westmount





Thomas Sydney (T.S.) Morrisey, Darrell Morrisey's older brother, lived most of his life within walking distance of his family home at 85 Church Hill Avenue, in Westmount, Quebec. Morrisey is a true war hero, he has a distinguished military career which includes spending part of World War One in Siberia. He was also a family man. These are photographs of Morrisey's home at 3275 Cedar Avenue, in Westmount, Quebec. Morrisey phoned my mother in the early 1940s regarding Morrisey family history, but we are not related to his family. Photos taken fall 2012.

Darrell Morrisey on Church Hill Avenue



May 2011

Fall 2012
    


Here is where Darrell Morrisey grew up, at 85 Church Hill Avenue in Westmount, Quebec, as it looks today. Darrell is one of the forgotten or "lost" members or of the Beaver Hall group of Montreal artists. Regrettably, none of her art seems to have survived since her death in the 1930.
