Does anyone have in their tree a record of a BATES - MURRAY wedding era approx 1650 - 1800 in the Oldham - Manchester area. I am trying somewhat unsuccessfully to find out where the name MURRAY came from in the male line of Bates. The family lore has it that a Bates married a Miss Murray unfortunately no date or place, This is a MURRAY of ATHOL. Thanks for any help. Bob
