I am researching the Murrell family tree starting with George Murrell, born in 1889 in Brighton England. George's father, William, owned and operated a dairy business in Brighton. George married and started a family in England, before the family emmigrated to Kelowna British Columbia Canada in about 1911. More children were born into the family in Canada and almost all of their decendents are now scattered throughout British Columbia.

Any information that you may have and are willing to share would be much appreciated.
