Seeking any information regarding my relative John Murray who was born during 1953 probably in Ayrshire, Scotland and passed away at Gleneagles Hospital, Hong Kong on 16th January 2024. His wife (Celia?) was an Asian lady from Hong Kong. They had 2 daughters who lived in England I believe.
My grandmother Elizabeth Murray (b. 1891) and John's grandfather Charles Murray (b. 1895) were brother and sister.
I am endeavouring to fill the gap between Charles' unknown wife & their children, one male of which must have been John's father.

Did Charles Murray b 1895 die in Scotland?
If so - you will know his mothers maiden name from your grandmothers history.
Look for a death for Charles on Scotlands People & get his death cert which will give you his wife's details

Thank you once more for your efforts on my behalf. I have located the names of his wife, not Celia but close, and both daughters. Now to search for them.
Thank you again.
