Murray's Frenchpark to England
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2007 3:48 pm
Looking for ANY information on following Murray's: Michael, brothers Richard, Peter and John, born Loughlynn in early 1800's. Father Thomas, mother possibly Mary nee Flanagan.
Michael went to Staffordshire, married Catherine Whalan (1853) and became a coal miner, moving to Durham in the 1860's. Richard and his wife Catherine (also from Frenchpark) moved to Hull. Peter and his wife Margaret (?) disappear after the 1851 census (Skipton, Yorkshire). Have info about a John Murray, same period in Congleton Cheshire, but cannot prove relationship.
Family lore states that the family was en-route to the USA.
Any help much appreciated!
