I wish I could say this is our Elizabeth Murrary. However, our Elizabeth who married Alexander McPherson went to Oxford Co., Ontario, and raised her family there. Their daughter Ann married Robert Geddes and had five children in Woodstock, Oxford Co., where Robert was a plasterer. Sadly, they both died rather young and the children were sent out to live with relatives. We thought that Elizabeth Murray might be the daughter of Angus Murray and Elizabeth/Eliza McKay but have yet to prove that. Diane ------- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
