Are you sure Robert James Murray was born 1894,  you are after a look up in 1891  ;)  Is it a 1901 you are after?

Lancs BMD has a Robert J Murray born St Martin's district of Liverpool, 1894.

Possibly one you are searching for?

Also 2 marriages  in L'pool to a Mary.  1889 and 1893. 
Do you think either of these could be the parents you are looking for?

Am I right in thinking that you have the marriage cert, or have seen the marriage record for St Patrick's?

On your other post about Mary McCaslin you say you have 1911 information.  Where/when was Robert senior born and where was Mary Ann born.

Hi Tinker, You have the cert but have you seen the the entry in Church reg on-line?
That is in Latin, gives addresses, but not ages of bride and groom.

Is it possible that they came from Ireland?  I have found a John and Ann born Ireland living in Liverpool 1871, daughter Mary Ann born Gateshead.

Su

Sorry, just saw that Mary born liverpool in your mention of 1911

Hello,

looking at the baptisms, I was going to post this Murrey family living in Rishton in 1901:

Robert (b Preston) Mary b Felling, Durham with children Annie T, Pricilla and Robert.

heywood
Those children all have a mother Mary Ann Mcaslin.

Back again Tinker.

1891  Robert Murray  - Fireman Marine b 1858 Preston
Mary A  1858  Newcastle
Ann T  1891    8 months  Liverpool
Mccaslin Ellen   1871 Liverpool
Henderson St, which is where Robert and Mary Ann lived at time of marriage
Title: Re: 1891 census lookup surname Murray
Post by: heywood on Saturday 05 May 12 15:50 BST (UK)
1901 has a family, with Lillian, George and Robert amongst the children but the parents are Andrew and Mary  :-\

I think you are probably mixing two families or certainly two Roberts.

You need to investigate your Robert more. Possibly the Robert/Mary A family stayed around Blackburn area.

Do you have the marriage for your Robert for his father?

Looks as though Rishton is correct one Heywood.   Links in with info from 1891.
Title: Re: 1891 census lookup surname Murray
Post by: heywood on Saturday 05 May 12 15:55 BST (UK)
Hi msr,
My concern is that it is the right one for that family, but which Robert is tinker searching for?
The 1911 information given by tinker isn't the same family so there are presumably two Roberts born around the same time.
If it is Robert James with those parents then all is well.  :)

Hi Heywood

Yes and has the birth certificate so hopefully that is the right one. As I said,  I was just concerned that it was the wrong Robert Murray born abt 1894 that was being searched and therefore the wrong birth certificate had been obtained.

Post by: tinkertinker on Saturday 05 May 12 16:15 BST (UK)
Hi everyone,

The birth cert i have (Robert James Murray) is correct with parents Robert Murray and Mary Mccaslin this cert is in the possession of my Dads cousin she has had it for years it is in a very bad state.
So i think the 1911 census info isnt mine.

Thank you very much for your patience

Well Tinker - M,

They do say that patience is a virtue, and searching is an addiction ;D

If the '71 census was correct it lists siblings as
James, Catherine, Sarah J and Edward.

first 3 born Gateshead but Edward born Liverpool.
Title: Re: 1891 census lookup surname Murray
Post by: msr on Saturday 05 May 12 16:31 BST (UK)
1881 has more children

Ellen, another Catherine(wonder if 1st one died), Alice, Robert and Margaret.

A Catherine McCaslin  died 1871 aged 6, so shortly after the census it would seem.

On the marriage cert (1889) Murray/Mccaslin  are living at 18 and 20 Henderson Street Toxteth Park.

I know I asked this earlier Tinker, but have you seen the Catholic marriage image online.
Not sure if you have that or just the GRO cert.

Searching the Liverpool  baptisms it seems that Ann, wife of John McCaslin was a Murray before marriage.  The McCaslin surname has been written some different ways though, almost to the point of non-recognition.

Quite a few Catholic marriages for siblings of Mary Ann McCaslin on-line too.
