I wish to acknowledge the assistance given me about 2 weeks ago, in my pursuit of information about Sir James Murray , from Joyce, and Ray. I had previously found a 1920 Obituary in a New Zealand Paper, which mentioned James. My e mail to the Aberdeen Press and Journal, was responded to the following day, by Alison, advising me they did not have the archived copied of the 1933 Obituary, and referred me to the Central Library, Aberdeen, giving the address. I e mailed , and had a response the following working day, from David at the Library, with the copy of the Obituary . He commented that having the exact date, which had come from Ray, was a help. >From the other side of the world, I was so impressed with the Service ! It seems from the Obit., and then the information I did have , Sir James, apparently a distinguished and generous man , was not a Nephew of the 2 Brothers who emigrated to New Zealand. Sir James' Father, was a first cousin of the Brothers, one of those Brothers, William Murray, was the Great Gr. Father of my husband, (and also William) . The Brothers successfully continued the Family business , in various forms, involved in the meat trade in N.Z. . Bill's ( my husband ), Grandfather, also William Murray, married into a Family descended from 4 Convicts transported to Australia. I wonder if Sir James knew ? Probably not mentioned in those days .

Mary, Did you get the drawing of Sir James which appeared in the paper? I saved a copy of it if you need it.

Hello Joyce, There was a Photo with the Obituary. I don't think I saw a drawing, or did I confuse a Drawing with a Photo ? Thank you, yes, if you could forward it that would be great.
