Murrays & Fletchers of Canonbie
« on: Thursday 22 October 09 14:14 UTC (UK) »
Hi
I have been researching the Scottish side of my family for quite a while now and it has taken me a lot of hard work to find my Neilson family in the Lanarkshire area, i would really appreciate any help in now finding information on my Murray/Fletcher family from Dumfriesshire.
So far i have been able to go as far back as 1801 when my gggggrandfather William Murray was born in the civil parish of Canonbie, his wife was Mary Murray (maiden name not known) who was born abt 1806 in England, they had at least seven children one of which was my ggggrandfather James Murray also from the Canonbie area, he married Elizabeth Murray( again maiden name not known) she was also from the Canonbie area, they had at least six children one of which was my gggrandfather William Murray and he again was born in Canonbie, he married Elizabeth Nicolas Fletcher who was the daughter of Thomas & Margaret Fletcher from the Canonbie/ Langholm areas, William & Elizabeth had i believe three daughters one of which was my ggrandmother Margaret or 'Maggie' Murray and she was born in 1886 and she married James Neilson from Lanarkshire  in 1904, they emigrated to Canada in 1906 where they had six children including my grandmother Margaret Neilson. In 1915 Maggie Neilson nee Murray died in Canada aged just 29yrs.

I know there are a lot of dates and names but any help would be really really appreciated .
Kind Regards
