Hi Bart Have you checked out his Attestation Papers (Service Files of the First World War, 1914-1918 - Canadian Expeditionary Force) for Matthew Blair Murray? In his attestation papers his wife's name is noted as Ellen. It also noted that he had spent four years in the Territorials in Scotland. You can search the database at http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/firs t-world-war-1914-1918-cef/Pages/search.aspx Attestation papers are very interesting, as they give details you may not find elsewhere and include the signature of the soon-to-be soldier. There are normally two pages, so don't forget to check page two. The first page give details of name, address, occupation, etc. The second page gives details such as height, complexion, eye and hair colour, distinguishing marks, etc. Hope this helps.

Yes, that would seem to be the Law Hill in question. To go through a few things: http://canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?ID=14113 : It is Matthew Blair Murray d:30-03-1918, not his wife. She went on to m. ? Patton. Then: = Matthew Blair Murray b:1891, Scotland, 23, Parents: Robert + Mary. Sp: Helen D. Cassels b:1894, Law Hill, Scotland, 20, Parents: Bryce + Jeanie*. m:24-12-1914, Stellarton, Pictou, Nova Scotia. = [Bryce + Jeanie*]: She should be [Jeanie* Livingstone Steen]. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQ9P-18N https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQDY-KZ1 Jane Livingston Steen bn:03-12-1870 Carluke, Lanark F:Thomas Steen M:Mary Davidson. Jeanie* Livingstone bn:08-11-1870 Milton, Glasgow, Lanark, Steen F:David Steen M:Helen Davidson. = Andrew Davidson m. Jane Livingston had: 1. Mary Davidson bn:30-08-1846 m. Thomas Steen. 2. Helen Livingstone Davidson bn:09-05-1852 New Monkland, Lanark (m. David Steen). !!! !!! !!!. = Law Hill: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/55.74340/-3.87835 : Then if you go just up a bit into Brackenhill where Station Rd crosses the railway line is Law Junction, Thanks GR, looks right and makes complete sense. I have obviously jumped right back into the heartland for Bryce Cassels Murray here, need a bit of time to absorb and sort it out.
