Title: Martin Murray School Master.
Post by: Richie1974 on Wednesday 29 May 13 21:22 BST (UK)

Trying to find info on my Great Great Great Grandfather, Martin Murray.
He was born in Ireland and is on the 1851 Census as living in Henllan Street, Denbigh, occupation is School Master.
I'm assuming he would have connections with the old National School in Lenton Pool, Denbigh?

I've found this possible death record. It's the only Martin Murray dying in Denbighshire within ten years of 1861. It would explain why I can't find him after the 1851 census.

Many thanks.  Would the records office in Ruthin keep info on former county School employees?

I have no idea I'm afraid. You'll have to try and hope for the best.
