Hello everybody! With the usual brilliant advice from Glen, I've started a new group and photostream on Flickr hoping to get contacts from people whose families connect with my Dad's MURRAYs.
There's a few photos that came from my Gran's cottage here in Galloway on the page with descriptions. Gran was a HARRISON from Burslem, Stoke on Trent so anybody with connections to her would be a great bonus.
Grandad was Frederick MURRAY of Whitchurch Shropshire/Cheshire a son of James MURRAY (blacksmith/engineer) and Sarah Ann LATEWOOD. He was a warder/mental nurse in Crumpsall Asylum, Prestwich, Lancashire.
Gran was Dory HARRISON a daughter of William HARRISON (potter's printer) and Mary Eliza ACKERLEY (potter's transferrer). Gran also worked in the potteries as an overlooker - I think that meant quality control at the end of the production line - and later became a nurse which she still was when she married in 1917.
Two of Grandad's siblings went off to Perth, Western Australia. Frank MURRAY and his wife Elizabeth Annie FOSTER and Mary Jane RUSCOE nee MURRAY and her husband John RUSCOE. There's more about these two on the Flickr page.
Please go and have a look and leave comments. If you would like to add me as a friend, please feel free. It would help a lot if the group got loads of hits. Many thanks.
