Hi Gill,
Good luck with your search. I think a close link is unlikely, but it's funny how these things tie up sometimes. I haven't come across Murdoch Murray but he may be a cousin of Walter. I doubt he was a sibling. Walter's parents John MURRAY and Ann MUNRO were married at Dornoch. I'm not quite sure of the geographical boundary of the Creich parish. The population of Sutherland was only 20,000 or so, so I presume all of the Sutherland Murrays link up somehow!
Best,
David

Good morning Gill,
It looks like you have some more digging to do to see if you can locate Murdoch's family!
Finding his death certificate will be a start, along with any information you may be able to get concerning his travel from Scotland to New Zealand.
Locating Scottish lines can be problematic as many had the same names (both christian and surnames), and due to loss of paperwork during the troubles and the mass movement of the people because of the fighting and clearances, lots have been 'lost' and need some work to find (if you ever do!). My particular line has several that we just can't find out about further than we have done already.
I wish you luck with your searching Gill, and if you get stuck there are a lot of people here that may be able to be of assistance to you if you post a query. Please let us know if you find out a link anywhere that we know nothing of, or if you have been successful in locating his family.
Good Luck! Shalena

Hello Shalena,
I am very interested in your FORBES family of MOULIN in Perthshire, Scotland. One of my FORBES from there married a ROSS and lived in Edderton, Ross and Cromarty. I also have connections to several Buxted, Sussex families.

Hello Gaye,
I apologise for taking so long to reply. I have checked through the information that I have for the Forbes family line, and cannot find any link to a marriage to a Ross. So saying, we have two links with the name Forbes. One from Logierait (Alexander) who married a Reid some time in the early 1800's and had 6 known children between 1814 and 1829. Then there was an Elizabeth Forbes (a relative of Alexander?), who married into the Cunnison family back in c1780's, with a descendant of theirs marrying another Forbes in 1864.
Apart from some dates/places of birth, we know nothing about the majority of these lines...apart from the one that links to us eventually. So although I have no knowledge of a Ross marriage, that is not to say there wasn't one from 'our lot'.
As for the Buxted area connections. As far as we know, that area comes into play from about 1720 (ish) when we have a family named Mew noted as living there from the early 1700's until around the early to mid 1800's when they started to scatter across the Sussex area. We have a fair few of the names that inter-married with this line, so if you want to pass on any that you know of (and any dates), I will have a look to see if there is any connection there for you.
Hope I have been helpful, and thank-you for contacting me.
Best wishes, Shalena
