My Murray family came from Park, Closeburn, Dumfrieshire. My gt grandfather was called David Murray and he was a shepherd. He was married twice, firstly to Mary Geddes and they had Robert, born 1879, Elizabeth, born 1880 and Mary, born 1882. Secondly he married Janet Fergusson in 1886 (after Mary died in 1885) they had Sarah, born 1887, Janet, born 1889, Annie Jane (my grandmother) born, 1893. David and Janet along with Robert, Janet, Sarah and Annie Jane moved to Ayrshire around about 1905. Robert married a girl from New Cumnock, Sarah married an Englishman and my grandmother married my grandfather, James Drummond in 1919. Janet, I think, remained unmarried.

Do you know where your Murray's were from? There are John Murrays in the family but I have not done much research in to the ones who remained in Dumfrieshire after my gt grandparents left.

I don't get down to Dumfrieshire very oftern so I would love to find someone with a connection to the Murrays to share information with. Hope we have a connection.
