William Murrell b1872 - God Knows Where LOL

Latest update on William Murell is that I have ordered his daughters birth certificate from the GRO in the hope of getting some more information to help trace him.

Also Ancestry now have online the Cambridge University Alumni details as below.

About Cambridge University Alumni, 1261-1900
This list of all known students, graduates, and officers at the University of Cambridge, England, from 1261 to 1900 offers information from various sources. Every entry offers important information which may include any of the following: notable accomplishments, occupation, birth date, birth place, other schooling, spouse's name, parent's names, siblings and other important associations. Alumni Cantabrigienses was compiled by John and J.A. Venn, former presidents of Gonville and Caius and Queens' Colleges respectively. This list of all known students, graduates, and officers at the University of Cambridge offers information from various sources besides the university's records, which date from around 1261. The entire collection contains 10 volumes in 2 sets. The first set covers alumni from the earliest records to 1752 and the second set from 1752 to 1900. The compilation was completed in 1956.


Bad news there is I can't find any trace of William in the database, he was supposed to have been there and possibly rowed for the Cambridge Blues, but got expelled for getting up to no good LOL
