Mary Murray was born between 1845 and 1849 in Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland.1,2 She was the daughter of John Murray and Margaret McComish.

Mary Murray married Mathew Cree, son of John Cree and Jane Shields. No record of the marriage has been found although census records and both their death records state that they were married.3

On 3 April 1881 Mary Murray and Mathew Cree were living in Parkhall, Midcalder, Midlothian, Scotland. Mathew was 41 and Mary was shown in the Ancestry transciption as 50. This must be an error for 30.4

On 5 April 1891 Mary Murray and Mathew Cree were living in Lathalmond, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. Mathew was aged 53 and Mary 42. No occupation was shown for Mathew on the Ancestry transcription. Mary was shown as an "Out Door Worker." I suspect this may be an error and it was Mathew who was the outdoor worker.2

On 31 March 1901 Mary Murray and Mathew Cree were living in Off Main Road (lane), Carnock, Fife, Scotland. Mathew was a stonebreaker aged 63 and Mary was 55.5

Mary Murray died on 12 March 1907 in Carnock, Fife, Scotland.6
