I am looking for John Thompson Murray, who would be aged around 14. I know he worked on the Midland railway at CULGAITH near Penrith, but I am not sure who he lived with. Thanks.

thank you so much for your help, I do appreciate it, but unfortunately, they are the wrong ones. My John was born in 1866, his mother was Marion Murray, and his father was John Thompson, they never married, but I want to know who brought him up, it wasn't his mother!I do know that he worked on the railway at Culgaith, so presume he was brought up in that area.
