Hi Suzi
Have a look at gelliott's response above - he has researched his family tree and I think the branches of his roots are what you are looking for as he mentions initially antecedents in Glasgow moving to Lancashire. He has provided a link to a website he has very cleverly built. Truly fascinating!
All the best

Are you too, or are you looking on behalf of someone? I understand from my dad that his dad came from London, and met and married his mum, Greta in Dumbarton where they settled and raised I think it was 8 children, of which my dad is the eldest. Dumbarton is just outside Glasgow. My dad's family are still there; his siblings also - I think there is only my dad and one brother left now of the boys. The girls are all still kicking up their heels (the youngest is in her 60s) but their families are scattered throughout the country, even into England, good heavens! We are a sizeable family, but not many of us are called Murnin left - seems the girls survive better than the boys, so I think although we have Murnin blood, our names have changed through marriage.
