	Have you done any research? Possibly not, as you have slightly inaccurate info about his migration

They have a picture of Murray's grave stone which reads: In Loving Memory of Murray Lyndhurst Maxwell 22 July 1913 1 Des 1986 Rest in Peace Death is listed as South Africa. They have no further info for his sister Mary Edith Dorothy Maxwell
