Research Notes

• A FamilySearch pedigree gives the marriage date as 1762 at Langholm, but provides no source. No marriage record was found on Ancestry.com, ScotlandsPeople.com, or FamilySearch.com. Graham-17201 16:14, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• There is another death record for an Elizabeth Murray dated 1807 (no month or year)^[13]. The image of the original parish register page is not helpful, since only the name of the person buried and the date are listed. Possibly this is the same Elizabeth Murray, and her grave was moved, or she required re-enterment for some reason. Graham-17201 16:14, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
