Murrays of Buckie
« on: Thursday 07 December 17 17:00 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Hoping someone can give me a bit of a hand here as I've hit a brick wall with this family.

I have a couple, John Cowie Murray and Jessie Ann Cowie, who married in 1910 and had the following children:

Janet Coull Murray (b.1912)
Margaret Murray (b.1914)
Jessie Ann Murray (b.1916 d.1979)
John Murray (b.1919)
Easter Murray (b.1924 d.1951)

It seems that the parents separated (but did not divorce), and John emigrated to Vancouver where he passed away in 1962. Jessie Ann died in 1968 at Edinburgh. I've successfully found two children (Jessie Ann and Easter), but I'm at a complete loss with the others. I think it's quite possible the other three children emigrated, but with a name like Murray it's quite difficult to say.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Greg
