William Murray (June 17, 1839 – July 15, 1898) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Renfrew North in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member from 1874 to 1875.[1]
He was born in Goulbourn Township in 1839,[1] the son of James Murray, an Irish immigrant,[2] and Elizabeth Burrows, and was educated in Goulbourn Township.[3] He entered business with his older brother Thomas in Pembroke.[2] In 1864, he married Margaret Mary Foran.[3] He was declared elected in 1874 after Peter White's election was appealed. In 1876, Murray was unseated and White won the subsequent by-election.[1] In 1884, Thomas and William registered a claim on a nickel deposit near Sudbury which later became the Murray Mine, the first nickel mine established in the area.[4] He died in Pembroke at the age of 59.[3]
