I’ve also just noticed that the first named occupant of Winchester’s Close is George Winchester!

He was a 78 year old widower from Elgin who was a retired cooper.

Suggest you go to Elgin Library and take out the microfilm of the 1881 census. 'Walk' the whole of the enumeration district containing Winchester(s) Close, noting all the other addresses in order, and you should end up with a pretty good idea of where it was.

I sound idea!

Mary Byatt’s book has the close at No 224 High Steet as ‘unnamed’!

I think we have a winner!

Hi Neil,

I’ve just discovered that I’m related to the Murray family.

FWIW, John and Jessie, together with their 2 infant children, Isabella and Maggie (and the family of 2 of John’s uncles) are buried in Elgin Cathedral cemetery.
