Hugh Murnin was my great grandfather. He was a Labour MP having worked as a miner in Scotland. He instituted showers for the miners. Upon his death the miners union erected a grand statue as a gravestone. His daughter Alice was my Grandmother. She lived in Stirling to the age of 102 years. She married Tom O'Brien. Alice had a maiden sister Elizabeth and a Catholic Priest brother Canon Michael. Alice had 6 children. (John, Hugh, Michael, Alice, Kathleen and Tom) There are many descendants in U.K. & Canada.
