Your mother was the daughter of Bert/Herbert MURRAY, who was born circa 1889, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. His parents were Joseph MURRAY (born circa 1860, Bristol, Gloucestershire) and Elvira BOSWELL (born circa 1855, Bath, Somerset, England) who were married in 1885 at Barton Regis District, Bristol. In 1901, Joseph was working as a "Punchinello Proprietor" (a Punch and Judy puppet operator - a very English tradition!) though he was latterly described as a GeneraL Labourer. At some point, Bert MURRAY moved to Scotland, where he married Elizabeth MCLANDERS on 26 Dec 1919 at Dundee, Angus, Scotland. Elizabeth MCLANDERS was born about 1898 at Dundee, daughter of John William Paton MCLANDERS and Elizabeth Hill MOYES, who had married on 21 Jul 1893, St Peters, Dundee, Angus. John William Paton MCLANDERS was born 23 Feb 1869 at Dundee, Angus, and died in 1958 at Stracathro, Angus. He worked as a Ship Riveter at the Dundee shipyard. John's parents were Thomas MCLANDERS and Ann PATON, who were married on 18 Jul 1865 at 89, Princes Street, Dundee, Angus. Thomas and Ann were also my GG Grandparents, although I am descended from another of their children, Helen Walker MCLANDERS. Your MCLANDERS ancestry to Thomas MCLANDERS is as follows: David MCLANDERS, born circa 1750, perhaps at Kirkmichael, Perthshire. Occupation: Stone Dyker. Married Elspeth MELVILLE, 22 Aug 1778, Kirkmichael, Perthshire. | Alexander MCLANDERS, born 14 Mar 1785, Wester Pitcarmick, Kirkmichael, Perthshire; died before 1851. Occupation: Farm Servant/Grieve. Married Janet SCOTT, 2 Jun 1811, Rattray, Perthshire. | John Rattray MCLANDERS, born 23 Oct 1813, Courthills, Rattray, Perthshire; died before 1851. Occupation: Baker. Married Ann Whitson CRICHTON, date/location unknown. | Thomas MCLANDERS, born circa 1843, Alyth, Perthshire; died 26 Jul 1898, 63, Watson Street, Dundee, Angus. Cause of death: "Pneumonia". Occupation: Merchant Seaman/Ship Riveter/Boilermaker. Married Ann PATON, 18 Jul 1865, 89, Princes Street, Dundee, Angus. I hope you find the above interesting.
