John Murray died Hong Kong 2024
« on: Thursday 17 April 25 07:48 BST (UK) »
Seeking any information regarding my relative John Murray who was born during 1953 probably in Ayrshire, Scotland and passed away at Gleneagles Hospital, Hong Kong on 16th January 2024. His wife (Celia?) was an Asian lady from Hong Kong. They had 2 daughters who lived in England I believe.
My grandmother Elizabeth Murray (b. 1891) and John's grandfather Charles Murray (b. 1895) were brother and sister.
I am endeavouring to fill the gap between Charles' unknown wife & their children, one male of which must have been John's father.

Did Charles Murray b 1895 die in Scotland? 

If so - you will know his mothers maiden name from your grandmothers history.

Look for a death for Charles on Scotlands People & get his death cert which will give you his wife's details

Father Ian(Ignatius) Gerald Murray 1927-1963
Mother Joyce Mary Rose Bell 1925-2023

Married 1953 Hillhead.

-------------
Ian's parents.

Charles (Anthony) Murray 1895-1973
Kathleen McSkane 1898-1975

Parents married 1922 Partick.

Charles whilst recorded at birth as Charles does use Charles Anthony on other records. Several shipping records where he is a Steward
