[NI058] George had sisters called Sarah & Lizzie. Lived at Farnworth, near
Bolton.

[NI069] Listed as Gardiner Mgt on a family tree. Could this be a Margaret who

abbreviations of names such as Jas. for James.

[NI070] According to the chart form George Murray, this man had children called Leonie, Alice and Annie.

[NI071] In chart via George Murray, this man is labelled as Peter MURRAY and he has children Arthur, Daisy and Robert. His wife's name may have been Sara.

[NI113] Birth said to registered in Old Machar parish, as was twin sister.

[NI133] The name Isabella FINDLAY is used, since records of gravestones in Rathven Cemetery show this name. It offers no answer as to why there was a Jane KERR in the house, labelled as a stepdaughter in the 1891 Census: this name does not tally with either parent.

His relationship with Georgina GRAY is not proven, but this unusual name change fits neatly with the name on Jane Burges GRAY's birth certificate. Also, at 3.5 miles, he is the only William BURGES within walking distance of the mother!

[NI166] Use the name Patrick to the point that his wife inadvertently supplied this on marriage documentation (later corrected). Was an auditor or accountant and travelled to do accounts for various clients. Fairly prosperous e.g. the family had a maid.

In 1881 Census his name was spelt Nathaniel M. Murray.
