Australia / Re: MURRAY in South Australia
« on: Sunday 18 January 15 12:56 GMT (UK) »
Hi all interested in Murray family of South Australia,
New to this so bear with me. I am a South Australian Murray, born and raised at 'Cappeedee' of the Murray merinos. I have a detailed history of our family in South Australia and its links with the Angas, Melrose, Bowman and McLachlan families.
I visited the graves of my ancestors in Eskdalemuir in Scotland a few years ago, and have been trying to form a detailed family tree from there. The oldest ancestor I can find is Adam Murray who died at Castleton, but no date given. He married Elisabeth Beatty, b.1741 d.1819, daughter of 1st Earl Beatty Admiral.
The family tree I have says the Murray's are cadets of the Murray's of Tullibardine, so I would like to explore Adams family further to find a link with the Tullibardines and Atholl branches. I have worked out that we are all descended from Edward the 3rd through the Beaufort and Stewart families, but there is a big gap in the 17th and 18th centuries that I am keen to see if Adams branch of the family emerged. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
