Hello, very new to all this. hope it posts in the right place! Searching for Henry S Murry Graham or his family. Capt then Major in Royal Artillary. Born Southsea Hants, abt 1848. Married to Annie E. One known child Andrew T G b.1881. Last seen on 1881 Census. Living in Throxenby Yorkshire. They are key to finding Amelia E Cripps (mistranscribed Cupps) who was Nanny/Governess to the family for many years. Any help greatly appreciated :)

Hi and a warm welcome to Rootschat
Here is the 1881 that you already have - it is easier to see all the info - and I see there are some other family members there which might help!
RG11 4806 83 9
Throneby Yorkshire
Henry S Murry Graham 32 Capt Royal Artillery bn SOuthsea Hants
Annie E Murry Graham wife 28 bn Gateshead Durham
Andrew T G Murry Graham son 3 bn Plumstead Kent
Thomas Grahan Murry 64 Uncle visitor bn Edinburgh
Caroline T Murry Aunt visitor 54 bn Edinburgh
lots of servants
incl
Amelia Cripp 24 nurse bn Farrington Berkshire
now are you wanting to move forward (to 1891) or back (to 1871?)
Or BOTH!!!

Hi welcome to Rootschat
I can't see the family anywhere in 1891, but the 1881 states for Henry "Capt In Royal Artiliery Adjutant Militia On Active List" so I wonder if he was posted abroad?

Hello, thanks everyone, we are hoping to look forward to the 1891 census. They could be posted but how do we find out if they travelled abroad for the Army?
-
Members of the British Army stationed abroad were never fully enumerated until the 1911 Census. Instead the military authorities provided the Census Office with the numbers of officers, other ranks, wives and children, either by place or by regiment.

Looks like they had property in Scotland as well as a London address
Henry dies in 1913 and this is the index entry in the Probate Index -
Henry Stewart Murry Graham of MurraysHall Scone Perth and 23 Rutland Gate London died 27 th Sep 1913 at Murrayshall. Confirmation of Andrew John Graham Murray Graham
(I typed that out twice - computer blipped as I sent it the first time and it disappeard! Several posts made in the meantime I see)
-
Could they be in Scotland in 1891, you need someone with access to the Scottish censuses to check.
-
If yuo google Murrayshall, Perth it shows that it is now a hotel and golf course.
I didnt look at all the hits, but maybe there is some history of the house on some of them.

There is a bit about him here http://www.rootschat.com/links/0drp/ You need to scroll down a fair way.

dear all, thank you so much for your help, this is great information to be heading forward with. I shall make some further enquiries in the Scottish area, spookily enough we are heading north of the borders very soon ! :) Will of course post any new information we come up with.
