Possibility for James's death?? Though of course it's a very common name. |

Can't find Mary's death, either. |

I don't think that James Murray going to Quebec can be the right man. It's unlikely a baker would become an Iron dresser - though I can sympathise with the one who went to Canada, not wanting to be an iron dresser any more! |

This is the 1901 record of James which you found, Margaret (for reference). I agree this will be him: |

The passenger record you found for 1912 only lists the person as J Murray, so not necessarily a James, and YOB's a bit out: |

Yes, it's the right family. Here they are in 1891, with James, baker's apprentice: |

Thanks Ann of Cardiff. Wrong Birthdate I am afraid! James Murray is such a common name both in my family and in general! |

As you can imagine there are many James Murrays born around 1876 from Scotland in Canada. |

I have a James Murray who was the son of James Murray (B 1847) and Mary Allan. He reported his father's death in 1907 in Hawick giving his own address as Helenbank, Rosetta Rd., Peebles. I have tried Hawick and Peebles for the 1901 Census and can only come up with him living in March Street, Peebles. This would seem to make sense as he was an Apprentice Baker in 1891 Census while living at home then in Peebles as a Journeyman Baker. I am hoping this is the same person. |
