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

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