Shirley Brand has reported that he married her husband’s aunt. This record of registration might well be that event:
Name: MURRAY, Douglas B
Consulate : Shanghai
Country: China
Year: 1911-1915
Volume :
Page: 424
Spouse's last name: Not stated
Record source: GRO Consular Marriages (1849-1965)
Obviously the certificate is needed to give his wife’s name.
Shirley has also found a microfilm of the parish registers, probably from Family Search and transcribed this information:
“UK, Foreign and Overseas Registers of British Subjects, 1627-1965 Shanghai China, 16 Apr 1915, DOUGLAS BENNETT MURRAY male, bachelor, underwriter, age 32, Father: CHARLES HENRY MURRAY, civil servant, MARRIED JULIA MARY BRAND, female, spinster, age 26, father DAVID BRAND, deceased. Merchant. [Parish registers, Holy Trinity Cathedral, Shanghai]”

And if he was living in the far east, this death might be his:
Name: MURRAY, Douglas B
Consulate : Yokohama
Country: Japan
Year: 1916-1920
Volume : 14
Page: 788
Age at death: 37
Record source: GRO Consular Death Indices (1849 to 1965)
Again the death certificate would be an advantage.
