Judy, I checked the 1851 Census for Birkenhead, and living at 8 Willaston Place I found the following. H.O.107/2175 page 415. William Murray Head Mar 54yrs Warehouseman Porter born Ireland. H Murray wife 39yrs born Ireland John Murray son 23 yrs. (no occup. given) born Ireland Henry Murray son 19yrs Turners Apprentice born Ireland William Murray son 17yrs " " born Ireland Samuel Murray son 15yrs Grocers Shopboy born Ireland E Murray dau. 12 yrs House Servant born Ireland. F Murray dau 8yrs scholar born Birkenhead. S Murray dau 5yrs scholar born Birkenhead F Murray son 13yrs scholar born Birkenhead I Murray son 1yr born Birkenhead. Maria Christie Visitor Marr 28yrs Dressmaker born Ireland. Not very helpful only the initial given for a lot of the christian names, also I wonder if F Murray son's age is wrong, perhaps it was only 3 years, seeing that he was born Birkenhead. Did anyone find Agnes MITCHELL for you, I see that there are 9 Mitchell's indexed for Birkenhead, which I would be happy to check, if no one else has already done this for you. Regards Marjorie Australia.
