There seem to be no deaths for him post SDR 1855 so died between 1851 and 1855 I presume?

I think so i didnt think i would find anything about him as Murdison is a hard name to find but in the 1851 cesus he was in Melrose aged78yrs  he was born in Lauder so i thought he may have been with his grandson Adam Murdison who was in Melrose  anything is worth a try Cheers Harriet :D

Bear in mind that in Scotland, often poor death records were kept prior to 1855, the best you might get is purchase of a mortcloth and not all of our ancestors had gravestones.

You could try contacting one of the local family history societies; hopefully, it will all get there in the end!
