John Murray (BRICK WALL)
« on: Thursday 19 May 22 18:36 BST (UK) »
I am having a brick wall when it comes to finding out information on John Murray Sr. who had two children with Annie Melville Campbell, 1. my father-in-law Robert Murray Campbell b) Dec 24, 1921 and his brother 2. John Murray Jr. b) July 17, 1925 both at 66 Cowane Street (boarding house) in Stirling.  I've researched John Murray Sr. for 5 years now. John Murray Sr. may have died in Waitakere, Auckland, New Zealand.   Does anyone wish to share the records of his birth and death year?  That would be a tremendous help. 

According to a family member on the Wilson (John William Buchan Wilson who married Annie Melville Campbell on Oct 31, 1931) lineage, this lady mentioned a John Robert Murray (they called Poppa Jack) b) 1889 Lerwick, Shetland, Scotland.  He died in Davenport, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand on 7 Oct 1958, and was buried in Waitakere, same place as Annie and John Murray Jr.  He married Hazel Alice Fergus b) 1892-1967 both dates in Auckland, New Zealand.   They married 24 1914.  Would he be the fellow that Annie Melville Campbell had the boys with in 1921 and in 1925?    This would be a load off my shoulders if indeed he was the right guy.  Can't wait to hear from you all.  Thank you so much in advance.
