murray

Recorded as MacMurray, McMurray, Murray, Murrey, Moray, and possibly others, this famous and interesting surname is generally thought to be Scottish, may sometimes be Irish, and occasionally is English! It has four possible origins. The first is locational from the Moray Firth in North East Scotland. This area is thought to be named from pre 10th century Old Celtic and Gaelic elements meaning a settlement by the sea. The second is probably associated, being a development of the Gaelic Mac Muireadhaigh, meaning the son of the sea man. The third is also Gaelic, and probably Irish from Mac giolla Mhuire, meaning the son of the follower of the Virgin Mary, whilst the fourth is English, and a variant of the surname Merry. This was a medieval nickname surname for someone of a cheerful disposition from the pre 7th century word "myrige", meaning pleasant. In Scotland the main family of Murray can be traced to a Flemish settler, Hugh Freskin, who in 1130 obtained extensive grants of land in Morayshire from which the name was taken. Lord George Murray famous for his part in the 1745 uprising, came from this family. Had he been left in command of the Scottish army, he may well have won the battle of Culloden, and thereby changed the whole face of Scottish and British history.The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William de Moravia. This was dated 1203, when he was a witness at the abbey of Holyrood, Scotland, during the reign of King William, the Lyon, of Scotland, 1165 - 1214.

pegswood

Pegswood is a mining village in Northumberland, England, and the site of the former Pegswood colliery. Pegswood is two miles east of Morpeth and three miles west of Ashington, with a population of around 3260. Pegswood is on a small hill above the valley in which Morpeth is situated, close to the River Wansbeck and to the river Brocks Burn. Its climate is temperate; the village rarely sees snow.
Pegswood started as a small farming settlement, but increased with the discovery of coal and the opening of the Pegswood colliery, ca. 1872. The colliery shut in 1969, however the village is still a pit. All that is left today are the Pit Heap, now a park, and the entrance to the mine shaft, now in the Bothal Court estate. Coinciding with the coal industry, there was also a brickworks in Pegswood, which has since closed down.
Some typical colliery-style houses from the late nineteenth century still exist in Pegswood. Three noteworthy eighteenth-century houses remain, as well as a few remains from a fifteenth-century chapel. Also of note is a bridge spanning the River Wansbeck. Amendment: There is no bridge over the River Wansbeck in Pegswood. There is a bridge over the East Coast Mainline and a small footbridge off the back of the Pit Heap but the river Wansbeck is perhaps 1.5 miles South of Pegswood, although in the nearby Hamlet of Bothal there is a footbridge which does cross the River Wansbeck In 2010 funded by Welbeck Estates, Fire was erected on the Bothal Roundabout.
