Thomas and Jemina had two daughters: Jemina Frances Sophia Murray-Prior (1814-99) and Louisa Elizabeth Catherine Murray-Prior (26 December 1816–24 July 1891). Inbetween these two births they had a son, William Amhurst Prior, who died 'in infancy'.((QJO, Praed papers, 10/12/51; TLM-P or Louisa Prior, genealogical notes in Burke, ))\\ | Thomas and Jemina had at least three children over three years: Jemina Frances Sophia M-P (born on 15 September 1814 or 15 September 1813 in the Southampton suburb of Shirley((Thomas Bertram M-P, Some Australasian Families Descended from Royalty, ms, n.d, p.5.)), d. 1899) and Louisa Elizabeth Catherine M-P (26 December 1816–24 July 1891). In 1814 or 1815 they had a son, William Amherst M-P, who died in London in 1815 'in infancy'.((TLM-P, genealogical notes in John & John B. Burke, A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain & Ireland: M to Z, London: Henry Colburn Publisher, 1846; Thomas Bertram M-P, Some Australasian Families Descended from Royalty, ms, n.d., p.5.

These three photos are studio ones from TLM-P’s album, labelled ‘Aunt Louisa’ and 'Aunt Louisa M.P’. The second photo has the inscription on the back ‘For Morres[?] with Aunt Louisa's Love’.
