Hello Everyone, I have been researching the above mentioned couple who were married at Lilliesleaf, Roxburgh in 1843. They had a son Thomas who was born at Lilliesleaf in 1838 and I found Thomas on the 1841 census living with the Arnos family in the same parish. I have not been able to find either Alexander Murray, who was reported to be a cattle dealer, or Janet Turnbull on this census. Following their marriage in 1843, Alexander and Janet subsequently produced Jessie in 1843, Margaret in 1847 and John in 1850. The family was living at Lilliesleaf when the 1851 census was taken. Walter and William, two of Alexander's brothers were living with them. Although there was approximately a 20-year-age difference between Alexander and Janet, Janet predeceased Alexander for he was a widower when the 1861 census was taken. I have attempted to find her death registration on the ScotlandsPeople site but was not successful, which made me conclude that Janet died prior to 1855. I don't have access to the later censuses so I don't have a clue as to when Alexander died but he was said to be 73 on the '61 census. Does anyone have MIs for this area? If so, could you please check to see if you can find Alexander Murray and Janet Turnbull. Thanks for any interest and/or information. Regards, Joan, ON. Canada
