Having found my great grand uncle John Murray b1870 St Giles middx and his wife Norah Murray b1873 Marylebone with their daughter Margaret b1901 Marylebone on the 1901 census. I skip forward to the 1911 census. I find Margaret Murray at the st Josephs school for roman catholic girls, listed as a boarder.
Norah Murray is listed in the workhouse? and John no-where to be found. I did find a John Murray in prison but it states labourer and he is a electric wireman on the 1901 (I suppose he could have fallen on hard times in ten years and that is why he was labouring) What doesn't make sense to me is that if this is indeed my Margaret, what is she doing at boarding school whilst her mother is in the workhouse and possibly a father in prison!!
I think probably only Margaret is mine and the other two are red herrings...............If this is the case though where are her parents?
Second thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
