Keith William Murray, F.S.A., Portcullis Pursuivant or Arms.
Born 8 July 1860, in Radnor Place, Hyde Park.
Died 11 January 1922, Cheniston Gardens, Kensington.
It is essential for any serious researcher of the MURRAY surname in Scotland
(especially MURRAY of a landed gentry) to be aware of the large collection compiled
by Mr. Keith W. Murray.
Mr. Murray, a descendant of the MURRAYs of Philiphaugh, developed a fervent interest
in Scottish records and was obsessed with discovering the true pedigrees of families of his own surname.
His life’s work, now in possession of the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh,
is a 14 volume collection of Mr. Murray’s personal notes gleaned from a wide assortment
of Scottish records.
Of particular importance is Mr. Murray’s volume V, in which he drew the pedigrees of
many MURRAY families. These charts represent the fruition of Mr. Murray’s tedious culling
of everything MURRAY from Scotland’s archives.
Mr. Murray’s work is in the Manuscript Division, of the National Library of Scotland and
has been assigned the reference number ACC 9691.
