Who When Where

Does the 1828 larceny incident give an address where the Murray's were living? I don't see the incident listed in newspaper reports, etc. As for the 1843 death cert: I think SHM is an in-law, maybe even a sister-in-law. If she was a spinster daughter of Thomas, wouldn't she be living with her father...

As previously suggested SHM could be an in-law, which is why it's important to focus on the sons he had from his first marriage. After all, Caroline Lee was the informant when her in-laws died in 1916. I'm struggling a bit with the locations: 1819 (Islington incident), 1824 (remarriage in Spitafield...

The 1841 Thomas married Jane Susannah Parsons in Spitalfields in 1826 and was a widower. Do you have any details regarding his previous wife's name and all the children they had? (Sarah Hannah Murray could be a daughter-in-law of Thomas). What was Thomas' occupation and address when he remarried in...

Do you have Thomas Murray in the 1841 census? Is he at Elder Walk in Islington? Was he married or widowed when he died? (I see a William Murray, age 24, at Elder Walk in the 1861 census. Is he related?)

There's a Hetherington in my family tree. Born in Northumberland, lived off and on in Scotland, and died in Cumbria. He married my 1st cousin (3 x removed) in 1871. Interestingly, he names his Scottish father as Thomas Beatty Hetherington (file cutter) on the marriage record. TBH might not have been...

Agnes appears in all census records in New Cumnock from 1841 to 1871. My experience with Scotland census records is that it's unusual to see a specific English birthplace listed. Usually it's just "England". Are you sure Agnes' birthplace is "Northumberland" in each census recor...

...her parents were recorded as being James Findlay and Margaret Hetherington, and I cannot for the life of me find a shred of any information about them, and there is the usual case of other family trees on ancestry seemingly inventing them... Question for clarity: Do Agnes' parents (James and Mar...

I've found with workhouse records it's important to always look at the previous and subsequent images (which can include notes/addresses for the inmate in question). I've discovered quite a few vital clues that way, usually on the subsequent images.

I think Mo has made reference to the Murrays in the workhouse register That's right...I did. :lol: And also mentioned the 1892 birth reg for a Henry Murray in Islington, which might just be a coincidence. So, when did Eliza Murray die? And when did Mary Keating come on the scene? And what happened ...

Apparently some of the notebooks are searchable: https://booth.lse.ac.uk/notebooks You can search the Stepney Union casebooks for names and ages (or birth dates) of individuals mentioned. Looks like the Police notebooks are searchable, as well.
