EducationLansdowne House, Edinburgh.
Notes for Jean Murray
I wonder if this is her death, the only Jean Hallifax death from 1984 to 2006:
Name: HALLIFAX, Jean Winifred
Registration District: Birkenhead
County: Cheshire
Year of Registration: 1988
Month of Registration: May
Date of Birth: 5 May 1925
Volume No: 37
Page No: 868
Reg No: 588
And if so, it gives her birth date.
But from Burke’s LG of Scotland, this is not the right birth date so is very probably the wrong person.
A probate entry found for the above death but the second name is different to that on her marriage index.
No other death for a Jean Hallifax in the probate indices.
_________________
Burke gives her parents as James Murray and Eileen Marie Dolman, both now deceased.
And this, at least, is confirmed by this marriage index record:
First name(s) JAMES
Last name MURRAY
Marriage quarter 3
Marriage year 1926
MarriageFinder JAMES MURRAY married
Eileen M Dolman
Spouse's last name Dolman
District Fareham
County Hampshire
Country England
Volume 2B
Page 1469
Record set England & Wales Marriages 1837-2005
The pain about this information is that no births whatever can be found for any Murray from 1925 to 1945 with a mother’s maiden name of Dolman. In view of her father’s career in the army, she may have been born abroad. Or in Scotland, which is where her overseas birth entry gravitated to.

TFPL, March 2017: Burke in LG of Scotland 2001, p. 1091, gives her parents as Major James Murray of Boltwood House Chiddingly, Sussex (1902-1962) and Eileen Marie Dolman (d. 24 Feb 1961) and gave them a sole child, and heir, Jean Rose-Marie who was born on 3 Nov 1929 and, around 2001, was living at 12 Putman Place, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 1BZ (with her son Roderick) and shows her to have had only two children, Rosalind Eileen Margaret and Roderick James, which number is confirmed by Cynthia Samuel née Hallifax.
This is confirmed by this entry in the Scots People Birth Register:
Surname Forename Gender Year Ref RD Name
MURRAY JEAN ROSEMARIE F 1929 049/AF 210 Service Returns
She cannot be identified in the 1939 register, but she may have been abroad or in Scotland.
She is probably still alive.
