Alexander Murray, 7th Lord Elibank (24 April 1747 – 24 September 1820) was a Scottish peer. BackgroundElibank was the son of Reverend Gideon Murray, younger son of Alexander Murray, 4th Lord Elibank. His mother was Elizabeth, daughter of General David Montolieu, Baron de St Hypolite, while Patrick Murray, 5th Lord Elibank was his paternal uncle. His brother was David Murray (1748–1794).[1] Political careerElibank was returned to Parliament for Peeblesshire in 1783, a seat he held until 1784.[2] In 1785 he succeeded his uncle as seventh Lord Elibank. However, as this was a Scottish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords. He also served as Lord Lieutenant of Peeblesshire between 1794 and 1820.[3] FamilyLord Elibank was twice married. He married firstly Mary Clara, daughter of Lewis Charles Montolieu, Baron de St Hypolite, in 1776. After her death in January 1802 he married Christian Catherine Steuart (d.1853)[4], daughter of James Steuart, in 1804. Lord Elibank died in September 1820, aged 73, and was succeeded in the lordship by his son from his first marriage, Alexander.[5] The son of his second marriage, James Erskine Murray, became an advocate at the Scottish Bar, and lost his life on 16 February 1844 in a battle with Bornean pirates while on an expedition to Borneo.[6][7] References1. ^{{cite web |last=Lundy |first=Darryl |url=http://www.thepeerage.com/p3038.htm#i30380 |title=p. 3038 § 30380 |publisher= The Peerage}}{{Unreliable source?|failed=y |date=September 2012}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|gb}}{{s-bef| before = Alexander Murray }}{{s-ttl| title = Member of Parliament for Peeblesshire2. ^leighrayment.com 3. ^leighrayment.com 4. ^Grave of Lady Elibank, Dean Cemetery 5. ^{{cite web |last=Lundy |first=Darryl |url=http://www.thepeerage.com/p3038.htm#i30380 |title=p. 3038 § 30380 |publisher= The Peerage}}{{Unreliable source?|failed=y |date=September 2012}} 6. ^{{Cite journal|last=Pearn|first=B.
