I think my great great great great grandfather Mr

  I have been researching my family tree, and found Charles Murray, hopefully, by great, great, great grandfather, who married Mary Lithgow, they had a son William Murray born 1767 at Canonbie.I hopeI am on the right track.

It sounds like you are dealing with the same family as some of the rest of us.

According to me, William was the 8th and final child of Chales Murray and Mary Lithgow.  I have Mary Lithgow b. 21 Jan. 1722 at Galashiels.  Son William b. 12 Apr. 1767 Canonbie.

Their son Charles, next eldest  brother to William, married Elizabeth Armstrong and  came to Canada -  see earlier posts by elliojo etc.

What happened to William?  I have nothing on him so far, or any of the rest for that matter.  Did he emigrate or stay in Britain?

It is quite a while since I worked on this family so my memory is not fresh, and my records may be missing some sources etc.

Message to Tammy of Clinton:

Yes, it's the same family.
I know nothing of what happened to the Gibsons except that I read somewhere that they had a son Robert.  I don't even know where they settled, but if you are in Clinton, perhaps it was around London somewhere, with the rest of them?

I realize you posted this ages ago but I must have missed it somehow.

I will send you a PM.

Sorry it took so long

Hi There,

 I'm looking for information on Catherine Margaret Murray, born in 1793 who Married George Powell.  She was born in Ireland, and moved to Quebec Canada sometime before 1825.  She died in 1859.  Their son Niel is my great grandfather.  I don't know where they lived in Ireland, or when they came to Canada.  I was told stories by my grandma that Catherine Margaret Murray had Royal relatives, and that somehow were connected to Whitehaven England. 

Information on George Powell (b: 1773 Ireland, d:1862 St. Dehalifax lower Iverness CA) would be nice too, if possible.

Sorry if this is not the correct place to post this, but doing a search, this message came up, and looked like it might be close, and I'm new to this, and wasn't really sure how, or where else to post this.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Bougie,
I'm wondering if you ever were able to take a photo of this gravemarker? It was requested years ago by Loo... and maybe you were able to send it to her?
