The family lived at Lairg for a while, then returned to Rogart where Colin was a porter at Rogart station. He was later transferred back to Lairg and then to Bonar Bridge. When the children had grown up and left home Colin moved to Glasgow where he died in Ruchill Hospital in 1964.

Isabella, widow of Colin Murray, railway porter signalman, died in Evanton, Ross-shire in 1970.

Colin and Isabella had a family of four - sadly the two girls are now deceased but the boys still live in Ross-shire. You can see a picture of Colin on his father's entry.
