Biography
He is the son of Frederick Schmidt and Ruth Potter. [1]
His surname was changed by deed poll on 3rd January 1920 from Schmidt to Murray (his great great grandmother's surname) in light of World War I and Schmidt being a German-sounding name. The ancestral family were in fact Dutch. It is possible that an ancestor moved to England when the area in which they were living was transferred to German control.
