Hi, could you tell me if Jean Murray's maiden name was Duncan?. I am tracing my family history, and I think my gt gt aunt was Jean Thompson Duncan who married James Murray. Marshmyres is an address that has cropped up in talking with relatives. If this is the same Jean, then her mothers maiden name was Pickard. My father Albert Pickard was raised in Alford, and the names that I know of are the Lingard and Gilbert family. Can anyone help me? My dad was left orphaned in 1923 and I think he may have been fostered or cared for around that time by one of the families. Any info would be great.

Jean,s maiden name was Duncan.I believe her brother Davy wrote a book which told of her childhood in Aberdeen and move to Marchmyres. Jean died on 26th dec 1979.

Thank you Alistair for your reply. I don't suppose you know the name of the book? I have tried googling it but nothing came up.I'm sure this is the same Jean that my father knew.
