Hi Andy

Thank you for your reply.  We have been researching the Murrison family for years so have quite a blanket of information and you are right Morrison, Murrison doesnt make it easy.

Our is the James Murrison  who marries Margaret Watson and we can not find either of their baptisms.  However for Margaret with other members of the family giving us clues, we have been able to trace her parents and carry on back.  Our James Murrison is a seaman too,  we are wondering whether he died at sea hence we can not find his death.

Here is our email address ^(*)


In the meantime we will go through our info and when we have your email address will get back to you to see if we can help.

Kind regards

Debbie and Graham Merry

I am the GG grand daughter of Margaret Watson who married James Murrison on 13 September 1849 in Peterhead.  Margaret is really giving me the round around as I just can't seem to locate her or her parents, you havent come across her by any chance whilst carrying out your research?.  The words "Big Brick Wall" comes to mind. 

Well I have managed to solve this mystery, only taken me 12 years but I got there.  So the moral is don't give up

I have been searching for information on the above Green family for over 20 years without much luck but determined not to give up. I am trying to find a William Green who on his marriage certificate to Elizabeth Ware (St Pauls Church in the district of Haggerston) on 28 June 1896 is aged 26, a bachelor, occupation traveller, living at 44 Maidstone Street and his Father is James Green a Coal Merchant.  By the 1901 Census William Green is living at 67 Maidstone Street, Haggerston aged 27 (anomaly), occupation General Labourer and born in Bethnal Green.  Can't find him on the 1911 census or a death certificate but by 1914 his wife Elizabeth re-marries to a James Edwards.
I would be truly delighted and grateful to hear from anyone who perhaps has information on this family and had more success than I.

Many thanks Wildgoose.  Only last week I managed to locate by ancestors seaman's ticket at Kew and as you so rightly said it gave me the same details as you state in yor message.  Thanks for answering my message.

I would be most grateful if anyone has access to the 1851 Census.  I am looking for a James Murrison aged 50, wife Margaret aged 50 and possibly a couple of children who might still be there - Isabell aged 15 and Margaret aged 11.

Many thanks

Debbie
