**Andrew Redmond Murray-Prior** (1786-1860) was Andrew Murray-Prior’s younger son. He was appointed Accountant General of the Irish Post Office on 8 May 1809. On 17 March 1814, he married Catherine, daughter of Sir John Call of Cornwall and widow of Major-General [[wp>Henry_MacKinnon|]] who had been killed during one of the major battles of the Napoleonic Wars, the 1812 siege of [[wp>Ciudad Rodrigo]].\\
Andrew and Catherine had a son (John Lawrence M-P: for more see {{https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/27CZ-J8R/john-laurence-murray--prior-1810}}) and four daughters (Catherine, Fanny, Sophia and Emily).
