Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / the Elusive James Patrick Murray
« on: Thursday 01 January 09 17:49 GMT (UK)  »
Have been casting about for years looking for the birth of James Patrick Murray circa 1882/3.Found a possible in 1911 in St Pancras London on the beta  1911 site and would like to investigate him.

Robert Meek                head     m 44  married 15 years motor bus driver b.Midlothian Dalkeith
Mary  Meek                    wife      m 45                                                          b.Aberdeenshire St Fergus
Elizabeth Janet Meek   daur 14 school                                        b.West Kensington London
Robert Alexander Meek son 13 school                                                        b.  do
William George Smart  Week son 12 school                                 b.GreenwichLondon
Mary Murray Week                 daur 6 school                                 b. Hammersmith london
James Murray                         lodger Un 27    motor bus Driver   b.Aberdeenshire st Fergus

my James Patrick definitely married  Ethel Bissett in pancras reg dist london in 1913 aged 30 and was a bus driver (with Father Thomas Murray deceased a butter merchant.)

however James is not with the Meek family in 1901 and i am blowed if I can find him on any census

Has anyone a knowlege of st Fergus so that at least I can eliminate this particular James?
Looks  like robert Meek married Mary Murray but it also looks a complex family with all those names!

Technical Help / pasting from clipboard
« on: Thursday 01 December 05 17:51 GMT (UK)  »
I find I am no longer able to paste into the message box my own hand typed transcriptions from my handy post it application.This does not allow me to take my time researching lookups.I realise this is an attempt to stop illegal pasting from original documents however that is not what I am doing.

Yours considerably miffed!
