Hello Listers, My name is Jan and I am new to this list..I live in Brisbane. I joined this list hoping the Edward MURRAY who died in Pennsylvania in Feb. 1965 is my Grandfathers Brother.... Can SKS tell me what information is available.......Are there any Index's that would give me further Information on his Parents...or where he was born.. The death date was on the "Family Search" site..in the" Social Security Index".. I have never used the Social Security Index before ..so dont know if there is further information to be obtained from it... If this is my Edward Murray he would have moved to America some time after 1901 as I found him living in London on the 1901 Census... There were only 3 Edward Murray's on the Social Security Index with a birth date of March 1881....... We only have March no day as Edward's Birth Date... (waiting on the certificate to come from England) Any Help greatly appreciated... as I feel there must be some Cousins out there somewhere... Cheers Jan In Sunny Brisbane

Hi, Jan, Did the SSDI mention the city in which he obtained his SSN? Sometimes that helps. It would help to know which city in PA in which he died. Then it make it easier to find him in the census records in the US. I've got Murray relation in PA....in Wilkes Barre, Luzerne County. They aren't blood to me, but married to my aunt. My Murrays are Irish. This doesn't mean yours was necessarily, but I'm betting the Murray surname is taken back there eventually. If you've got a city or county in PA, let me know, I can check some of the census years.
