Below is what I know of a family named Murray in Durness. I would love to know what happened to their children (named below) – did any of them marry? Any help appreciated. DONALD MURRAY [1812-9/8/1905] married HUGHINA MORRISON [1816-22/5/1897] Donald, a fisherman, is the son of Robert Murray and Catherine Morrison of Durness. The 1841 census shows Donald and Hughina at Sangobeg, Durness, with Donald's father Robert, a 55 year old agricultural labourer, and his sister Ann, aged 35 years. By 1851 Donald was the tenant [only Murray family in Durness in that census]. Also with the family was a Robert Morrison, a nephew of Hughina's, aged four years and recorded as a pauper. In 1861 Donald was recorded as a "tenant of a lot of land" at Sangobeg. Nephew Robert Morrison still lived with them. In 1871 Donald was recorded as a fisherman but in 1881 he again became a farmer with three acres plus Aug Hill common. Young Alexander was now a fisherman. In 1891 Donald and Hughina were still crofting. Roderick was a joiner. The family had a lodger, a tramp from Manchester. Donald died at Sango Beg. He is buried with Hughina and members of their family in Balnakiel, Durness.
