James and Andrew Murray

[liz_bern]

Hi again Lisa,

Yes, I have found their marriage certificate, they were married 27 August 1886, so it all ties in.  Her maiden name was Agnes Wotherspoon.  Will check out the childrens births when I get a new ink cartridge for my printer.

The place that you cant read could be Motherwell, which is actually where my mother was born near Glasgow.

The marriage cert lists him as an engine fitter (journeyman), so it is all looking good.

Cheers Liz

Wow you are really finding the goods.  Thanks for that.

You are quite welcome, Liz.

Hi Sandra.  I saw Andrew's burial "early on" (prior to reading the census records), but ignored it because no other family members were listed in the same cemetery.  Thank you for looking, as Agnes is buried in the same cemetery (incorrect year of birth, but it is her).

Good night for now.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for that.  Yes the date is wrong for Agnes but must definitely be her especially with the Wotherspoon put in there.

What can I now do to find if there was any grandchildren for these two.  Not too sure about searching for American ancestors.

Hope you have some ideas.

Cheers Liz

The year of birth recorded on find a grave was obviously a typo error

Hi Sandra,

Thank you again.  I dont think I am going to find many offspring as it looks like Agnes may have been the only one that got married.  Also Margaret their first born may have got married as she is not listed on the census of 1840.  William the only boy appears to be living at home with mum and dad in 1940 also so it looks like the Murray name has died here as well.

Thanks once again for your help.

Cheers Liz

Thanks for that Sandra.  Been without a computer for a couple of days as our computer closed down the other day and then decided it wouldnt open again.  Had to go and buy a new one.  You have given me some more things to chase up.  It is a shame that we havent been able to find anything on James, but I'm sure that something may come up eventually.

Cheers Liz
