James (or John) Murray, b.1837

There is a little confusion regarding James or John Murray. it is possible that they are the same person and that there was a mistake in the 1867 directory that lists both a James and John as photographers in Huntriss Row.
James Murray was born in Ireland (c.1837). the first mention of him as a photographer is in Scarborough in 1867. At some point before 1871 he relocates to Filey where he operates for at least the next ten years.

James Murray married Rebecca Amy (b.1842 in Bayswater, Middlesex). They had at least seven children. Amy (b.1861 in Chelsea), Esther (b.1864 in Exeter), two born in Scarborough William Abry (b.1866), Lucy Abry (b.1868) and three in Filey, Annie Lind (b.1872), Elizabeth Lind (b.1876) and Arthur John (b.1880).
