Have you tried the Search facility on here - go to Search, top right of board, then Search all members trees. Input his name. There are 4 members who have a 1933 Michael Murray born Ireland in their trees. Click on Find out more and send a message to each, explaining your interest - and then hope they are still members and able and willing to reply.

Not seeing a marriage for him on freebmd
Are you also in Ireland ??

Was going to suggest getting the marrige cert for his fathers name

Hi Sue

Do you know exactly where he was born?

Michael B Murray in the Ireland, Civil Registration Births Index, 1864-1958

Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1933
Registration district: Dublin South
Birth Country: Ireland

It might be a bit of a long shot.......but there is a Michael B Murray born 1933.--1935 on the 2002---2014 Electoral Register living in Basingstoke, Hampshire, along with a Margaret Murray.

If it is of interest to you, i will PM you the details?

There are no births registered in England or Wales in that time frame for a Michael B Murray.

Sue

Does he know that you are his daughter?

Sue, if you pm me I can help. Regards, Anne

Anne

I think you'd be better to pm Sue - she doesn't seem to be monitoring her post

Close to where I lived in Dublin south there was a Murray family, Joan, Paddy, Michael and Sally. Paddy was my age, born 1931 and Michael 1933.

Their father was a Captain in the Irish army.

I hope this helps

Donal -

Best to follow the advice Erika gave Anne, and send Sue a PM.
She doesn't seem to be looking back at this thread - or a t least not leaving any messages to indicate that she is.

Hi Sue
Have found a death for a Michael Benedict Murray died 25.09.2014 and is buried in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester. May be worth looking at.

Dawn -

As already suggested to Anne and Donal, you'd be best to send Sue a private message, as she doesn't seem to be looking at replies on this thread.

Click on her name (Murray) in green at the top of her post.

Dawn - what age was your Michael Benedict Murray when he died?

Anne
I don't know the age of this Michael Benedict Murray only to say. Sue has him in her tree along with his wife Patricia Keegan who he married in Manchester in 1957. The record I found is a Memorial Record which reads:-
Michael Benedict Murray
Died:- 25.09.2014
Burial:- Southern Cemetery - Chorlton cum Hardy - Manchester
Plot:- QQ Roman Catholic 685
I assume it to be the correct one. As I believe Sue may not know that she has been living only a short distance from here.
Dawn

There's a probate record too.

Sue doesn't seem to be bothering to look at this (may not realise she has to), so the only way to get the info to her is by PM
