sues Charles Henry Murray for money payable by the Defendant to the Plaintiff
for work and services due and rendered and materials provided by the
Plaintiff for the Defendant at his request and for money paid by the
Plaintiff for the defendant at his request and for money found to be due from
the defendant to the Plaintiff on accounts stated between them And the
Plaintiff claims Two thousand three hundred and forty five pounds nine
shillings and three pence. [Nat Archives currency converter 2009 equivalent
of this amount in 1870 -
£107,187.64, in 1880 £113,309.29] But
are these the two brothers? No addresses or other details to confirm
identities, great coincidence on names however. Did AJM finance CHM’s brick
making machinery patents at this time? Were they in business together, - hard
to believe AJM personally devised the machinery for those patents. |

From London Gazette: CHARLES HENRY MURRAY, Deceased Pursuant to the Statute 22nd and 23rd
Vic., cap. 35 NOTICE is hereby given, that all persons having any
claim against the estate of Charles Henry Murray, late of 85, Lower
Addiscombe-road, Croydon, in the county of Surrey, Engineer (who died there
on the 2nd December, 1891, and whose will was proved in the
Principal Probate Registry, on the 30th December, 1891, by Alfred
Norman Disney and Edmund Bowles, the executors thereinnamed), are hereby
requested to send particulars in writing, of their claims to the undersigned,
on or before the 14th July next; after which date the executors
will distribute the assets of the deceased among the parties entitled
thereto, having regard only to the claims of which they shall then have had
notice. - Dated this 28th May, 1892. VALLANCE and VALLANCE, 20, Essex-street, Strand,
London, Solicitors for the Executors. Alfred Norman Disney was the Headmaster
of Islington High School in 1891, aged 35 and born in Gloucester (1881
Private tutor, BA Camb., RKO King’s Coll., Lond.). The family though were in
Blackheath Hill in 1841, 1861, 1871 and 1881 so must have been old friends
and neighbours of the Murrays. Kate Disney, Alfred’s sister, was a witness at
Margaret Hannah Murray’s wedding in 1879. Edmund Bowles (a commercial
traveller in Drapery) appears to have been a neighbour in Croydon, living in
Elgin Rd. (opposite Grant Rd.) in 1881. |

to having been gassed in the war. But as glaucoma has been diagnosed among
