Hello All

I'm unable to find anything regarding the marriage, who Thomas's parents were and where he was born in England.  I was hoping there was someone out there doing the Murray Family.  Could someone tell me if I were to have a look in a newspaper for an obituary on Thomas's death, which newspaper would I look in if he died in Canonbie?  And also when where marriages first registered in Canonbie?
