Biography

This profile is for John Murray, the father of James Murray who married Mary Ellen Walls in Liverpool in 1900.

John's name was recorded on James and Mary Ellen's marriage certificate. His profession was a Rigger [1]. The marriage certificate gave James's address as 21 Upper Stanhope Street, Toxteth Park, perhaps this is John's address too?

The 1901 census [2] confirms that John was living at 21 Upper Stanhope Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool, Lancashire, England with his wife Maria, and five of their children ( James had already married Mary Ellen and left home by 1901).

They have a family named Hilborn and a family named Barlow staying with them as visitors.

The 1901 census also shows that John has a middle initial "P" (Patrick?) and that his birthplace is Ireland. His age is given as 52, which means he was born around 1849.
