Your James is older brother to my Alex McMurray, whose parents were Thomas McMurray and Margaret Scholes in Pickering Ontario.We visited Salem Cemetery last fall and saw the new monument to family members.I have several sources, including christenings and census records.There were quite a few bro & sis, and I've made a little headway on that front.My great grandfather Alex (born 1844) moved to Kansas/Nebraska about 1879 to homestead there, and I have a great picture of him and his 6 children (including my grandmother).I would love to have more info about Thomas and Margaret--I have some family letters about their origins in Ireland, and that they emigrated to Canada about 1835...Would be happy to trade info with you anytime.Write me at [email protected].
