My GGF James MURRAY was born 1858 in Ellesmere, Shropshire and died 1920 in Whitchurch, Shropshire. He was a blacksmith/engineer/fitter.
Does anybody recognise where the photo of him sitting with other workers was taken? He is sitting front right. The 2 women in the middle of the front row look much better dressed than everyone else. Did they own the firm? If I could find out who he worked for, I could start searching for his apprentice papers.
There is another photo of him and others from my family history on www.flickr.com/groups/1174790@N23/
Many thanks.

Hi GallowayLass
I'm afraid I cannot provide a direct answer, but have you looked at the historical directories for Shropshire? www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp
Just a thought.
Good luck with your research.
