Joseph was my great-great grandfather. Born in Scotland but location not recorded. Married to Ann Murray, also born in Scotland. Son John Murray Alexander, daughter Mary. I'd like to trace where he and Ann came from in Scotland. Both children were born in Gateshead, Durham. In 1861 living in Odd Fellows Houses in Heworth, 2 yrs after Joseph's death. We're these charity houses? |
