hi merlin, sorry about this but ive been given the wrong information about the family. seemingly they left home in bonyrigg scotland sold all possessions and bought tickets for oz. the boat they were meant to sail on had to come into dock for repairs which was going to take 2 or 3 weeks, so they got a refund and went to america. the trip took 11 weeks and they landed in new orleans on 1st jan 1852. robert and jessie murray had a few kids and had a very good life in america and died in wellsville. if you care to google robert wood murray it is very interesting.
thanks for all
