The householders names were :-Interesting. I had always assumed it was a common name. My great-grandfather Henry M. McMurray (1882-1951) was one of 13 children, so even though he and his family left for the US in 1921, I assume he had other siblings remaining in Motherwell. It's possible that James is his brother (1879-1952, died in Carluke), but I don't have any other Henrys in my info. Their parents were Robert McMurray and Margaret Close.
