London and Middlesex / Re: elizabeth Murray baptism 1820
« on: Tuesday 21 May 24 13:20 BST (UK)  »
Thank so much for your replies.
What you have given me ties in with my other research in Scotland when I was tracking my William Murray whose parents I believe could be James (carpenter) & Christian Fraser.  So I was really hoping to find Elizabeths baptism with mother Christian so I could confirm & link the family together following James move to London.  The joys of family history - the pieces are all there, you just want that last piece.

London and Middlesex / elizabeth Murray baptism 1820
« on: Tuesday 21 May 24 09:31 BST (UK)  »
Elizabeth Murray was born 1820 in St Anns Soho.  She married Joseph Laurence Henderson in 1846 The will of her father James Murray of 1866 gave the address as 36 Castle Street and his occupation as carpenter.  I am trying to establish who Elizabeths mother was but am unable to see her in 1841 census or find a baptism for her.
I would therefore appreciate any help or pointers anyone can give me please.
Many thanks

thank you again for all the info food for thought & perhaps clues to follow.  Thomas & Charlotte seem to disappear after 1841 as I've had a look at 1851 - no sign of them.  One step forward two back!!

thank you so much - I can rule Ann out as a sister then as I am looking for father James Murray a carpenter, father of my William & father of Mary to John Busby.  Having said that Ann could be related as she also gives Windmill Street as address.

London and Middlesex / Still at a brick wall with my Murray family
« on: Saturday 21 October 23 11:22 BST (UK)  »
Good morning all
Following on from my previous post about this family & the very helpful information provided I am unfortunately still not able to pinpoint them as to parents or where in Scotland they came from.
The marriage of Mary Murray to John Busby gives her addreaa as Windmill Street in St James Piccadilly Westminster 15th August 1841 as does Ann Murray in 1838.
Mary Murray (Busby) unhelpfully only gives birthplace Scotland about 1819 through the census.
I am unable to see the marriage of Ann (my ancestry subscription is basic) but I think it might be to a Charles Williams. However if that is correct I cannot find then in Census.
I was also given the information of Thomas Murray marrying Charlotte Cairns 17 July 1836. I found them in 1841. Thomas born 1816 Scotland but no sign of the in 1851.
I was hoping to find Ann Murray in 1841 at Windmill Street or any Murray family there but no luck.
I would appreciate any further help to with this brick wall.
Many thanks

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Murray marriage to Charlotte Cairns

thank you so much both.  I was hoping it would be a parish register as my Murray clan are proving very difficult to put together.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Thomas Murray marriage to Charlotte Cairns
« on: Saturday 26 August 23 10:34 BST (UK)  »
Could SKS lookup the marriage of Thomas Murray to Charlotte Cairns 17 July 1836 St James Piccadilly for me please. It tantalisingly comes up in ancestry but my subscription doesn't allow me to view the details. Particularly the address of Thomas & witnesses & confirmation of James Murray carpenter as the father
Many thanks

thank you so much for your information which could help in finding my William.  Sorry for the delay in replying but I was all caught up in the Coronation.
Best wishes

thank you Debra - I have Susannah all the way through - It's William who is the nightmare.  I've taken a quick look in Scotland & can see it's not going to get any easier but that's the nature of Family History - one step forward & 2 back.
