| 3. **Laura**, daughter of Captain King R.N 'who for many years had the packet service at Penzance' and is believed to have died there. It was her second marriage; her first husband was army Captain Dalton of Yorkshire. She died at 14 Johnston Street, Bath on 13 March 1871, and was buried in Bath.((‘Questions to be answered by T.L.M-P’, 6pp Memoranda, answers supplied to Burke for College of Heralds])) It does not appear that there were any children of this marriage. TLM-P had a copy of a notice placed in an unknown newspaper by London solicitors asking to be contacted by anyone with knowledge of her will. Note they gave her name as 'Laura Murray Prior' with no hyphen and stated she had formerly lived at 53 Brunswick Square, Brighton.((‘Questions to be answered by T.L.M-P’, 6pp Memoranda, answers supplied to Burke for College of Heralds])) Her photo is also in the album auctioned by Antiquarian Auctions. The image of Laura is superimposed inside the surrounds of a British 'penny-black' stamp, with her head replacing that of Queen Victoria. The result is a Laura 'stamp', roughly the same size as the official 'penny-black' stamp.((Adam Langlands, email to J.

| **Note** re the above album. A representative of Antiquarian Auctions believes "there is a strong argument that the album not only features members of the Murray-Prior family but was also compiled by a member of the family. If this is the case, then it also suggests that whoever that family member was, they moved in pretty exalted circles: the other cdvs of nobility and royalty are, in general, not the usual 'publicity' shots but are the sort of 'private' portraits that would only have been given to friends."((Adam Langlands, email to J.
