Lanarkshire / Re: Murray - Govan
« on: Monday 14 May 07 07:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi Sitheil,
I am a Murray and my great great grandfather was a James Murray born about 1811 his wife Margaret Dundas born about 1811. Had a son that I know of John Murray(b 1822) although on 1841 census had his age 5 years  and also had a brother Robert born about 1840 (all on 1841 census).
Dont know whether this fits into any of your history, but seems coincidental that you should be looking for a Margaret Dundas.
Anyway if I can be of any help let me know.
Good Luck

PS My great grandparents had a daughter Margaret Dundas Murray here in Australia as well as other children.

Hi Jenn,
Afraid not. His parents were John Murray and Elizabeth Wingate Neil who came out to OZ in 1860 from Lanarkshire via Mauritius. He was the youngest of 4 children.
Thanks for your help

Dear Trish,
Thanks for the info. The James and the Margaret Murray you have found seem more to fit in with the son John M being 5 years old on the 1841 census. I have he was born 1822 but according to the 41 census he was born about 1836 making him about 24 when he married Elizabeth Neil in Mauritius in 1860. All fitting into place. Finally found he had at least a brother also. Where do I and from whom do I buy the certificates from? Looked Queensland cemeteries records yesterday but couldn't find anything at all. OK getting down to the nitty gritty of it all now. Where do I get records of birth of him, his parents, his death (LDS?),etc. On arrival Brisbane on Golden City in 1865 I have a Elizabeth 33(wife) John 35 another John 30 and Jane 3 so the younger John is my grandfather. I have been going on the older one all along being related, but seems to be right before my eyes all along. Once again thanks for all your help. If you could just let me know where I send off to to get all the certificates I would be very grateful.

Thanks Trish for all your work on this side of the family. As one of four children I seem to be the only one interested in finding my roots. My brother has the original flag of the Murray clan and also the seal of the mermaid on the rock which is the Murray family emblem. These have been handed down to the eldest son through the generations as far as I can gather.
If you find out anymore could you please let me know and if I get anymore bits and pieces I will do the same.
Once again thanks for your time.

Hi Trish,The Harold John born 1867 is my grandfather. He died I think in 1942 in Mosman Sydney.
My fathers name was Carlyle Norman Murray born 1900 and my eldest brother's name is Harold Grahme Murray. Margaret is my first name so one could say definitely keeping the names all in the family.
Margaret Dundas married George Frederick Lewis Vaughan 1892 and died 13.10.01. Had son Oswald Frederick Vaughan born 27.01.1893. Cant find anything about Jane Neall or Neil born 1861 and James Oswald Murray only know he was born 8.5.1871.
The parents you have found James Murray and Margaret Dundas certainly look right. Thanks a lot for all of this. Am truly grateful, It has been a long haul. The Murrays have definitely been the hardest of all to track down. The other side of the family (Grants and Sherwins) were a breeze compared to Murray. I think once I establish John Harold's parents it will hopefully become a lot clearer.
James Neil is Elizabeth's (the third of 5 children) father and her mother is Margaret Montgomerie both born and died born about 1788 in Riccarton Ayr, Scotland
