91000: Alexander Murray
Alexander (born 1905) was the son of Allan Murray and Ann Macleod of 4 North Tolsta.
On the 6th of April 1917 Alexanders antics of the previous Thursday gained him a few paragraphs in the District News section of the Stornoway Gazette. He was seriously injured, after falling 180 feet, while attempting to rescue one of his father’s sheep from a ledge on the cliffs on the south side of Tolsta Head. Despite his injuries he climbed back up the cliff to escape the incoming tide.
In 1921 the family moved to 22 Gress.
Alexander married Mary Murray, of 71 North Tolsta, and the couple settled at 21 Gress.
