Hi everyone

I am new to this list and was wondering if anyone had any connections that
they could make for me re several of my family roots.

MURRAY

Which Murray's did we come from? I do not know anything further back than
this:

1. William Thomas Donaldson Murray (b1850 +/-) m Aletta Sophia Botha

2. Christian Mauritz Botha Murray (b 1873, d 1946) m Catharina Elizabeth
Havinga (b1884,d1932)
They lived in Colesburg on a farm called Diyatalwa, named after the prisoner
of war camp he went to in Ceylon. His brothers and sisters were : John
Murray m Georgina; William Murray m Trixie; Dennis Murray; Harriet Murray m
Henry Bruins; Mariaana Murray m Charlie Slater Kinghorn; Nella Murray m Piet
Jooste, Lucey Murray m Ley; Laetitia Murray m Donald Seymour.

3. Maria Magdalena Francina Dorothea Murray (b1903,d1983) m Vincent Fraser
Diesel

Her brothers and sisters were/are : Aletta Sophia Murray m Nicholaas Du
Plessis; William Thomas Donaldson Murray (b1906,d1961) m Sophie Van Niekerk;

James Percy Giles; Christina Maureen Murray; Anna Murray m Esias Johannes
Landman (Port Elizabeth, Despatch); Caroline Louise Murray (b1921,d1991)m
