Family:James Wells and Mary Murray (1)

Mary Murray was born in Scotland to parents Edward Murray and his wife Ann Hanson, Ann Hanson was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Hanson nee Cuthbert

Ann and Edward immigrated aboard the Flora landing at Pt Henry Victoria in October 1852

Ann's brother Robert Cuthbert Hanson and his wife Jane Nicholson married in April 1852 and they left 3 weeks later aboard the 'Flora MacDonald' arriving in Portland in August of 1852.

Edward and Ann bought with them 2 children the first born Mary and the second one Margaret Armour Murray.

On arrival in Australia about 2 years later they also had another daughter Anne Murray .

I have not been able to find out what happened to this family very much. It is only recently a gentleman contacted me to say Mary had married James Wells.

I know Mary had a illegitimate daughter prior to her marriage named Eliza Jane Murray which appears to have been raised by the parents as their own as the death certificate (Eliza Jane Goldby her married name) states Ann and Edward and her parents.

I do know that Mary and her husband James Wells went to Fremantle WA and Mary later died at Collie WA.

I would love to know more on this family and any descendants.
