Obituary of Lord Murray (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/05/22/db2201.xml&sSheet=/portal/2004/05/22/ixportal.html)(Daily Telegraph)
Murray was one of those conscientious, quiet TUC bureaucrats who do excellent, unsung work in committees and are then pitched forward into the top job by virtue of the Buggins' turn system which operates at Congress House.
Murray's clear vision of what the unions were about was for the main part clouded by his inability to put it into practice.
Murray stood in their shadow, biding his time and waiting for their departure, so that he might be able to impress more of his own stamp on the movement once they had gone.
Lionel Talmash was sheriff in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, in the 4th and 8th year of the reign of Henry VIII.

Lionel Talmash, 4th earl of Dysart (1707-1770), and 2nd earl of Longendale, was born June 1707, and upon his grandfather's death, in 1726, became earl of Dysart, and Knight of the Thistle.
