I wasn't sure Margee's 1911 was your guy, but how many WS Morrows are born on Xmas day, even if the years a bit off.

1901 Census of Canada Page Information
District: QU MONTRÉAL (City/Cité)/175 (#175)
Subdistrict: Saint-Antoine (Ward/Quartier) A-14 Page 6
43 37 Morrow W S (Dr) M Head M Dec 25 1870 30
44 37 Morrow Louise F Wife W Jan 12 1833 68
45 37 Morrow Edith F Daughter M Jul 15 1862 38
46 37 Dalrymple Matilda F Maid S Jun 11 1879 21

[P6 L43 addy=82 Union Ave - Union ends at Sherbrooke where McGill uni blocks it. I guess he was a block SE of Sherbrooke, close to Burnside. I don't see Burnside now, but there is an Avenue du President Kennedy abt where I'ld expect it to be]

Although Louise is listed as Wife, she's also a widow - presumably she's his mum, and Edith's his sister.

Here's Margee's 1911
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1911/pdf/e002074372.pdf

According to http://bibnum2.bnquebec.ca/bna/lovell/
Morrow W.S., M.D., physician and surgeon
is in Montreal in 1898/9 (looking up 1 randomish year), but I can't find him in 1901 census.

Chek out http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/
In particular https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/
Since you give his dob, I presume you've seen this - note Wm's b.rego also says his parents were wed on 20/3/1853 (20 might be 21). Search for poss kids there.
