The Quilietti Family

The story of a Scots Italian family

MURRAY Leonardo or Leo 1924-1992

Leonardo  Murray was the son of Valentina Maria Quilietti and Alex. Murray.   Leo was born on 16th December 1924 at 332 The Lawnmarket in Edinburgh.  In 1947  He married Dorothy Rendle.  I personally remember Leo was good friends with my dad Joe Quilietti and would visit us often.

332 Lawnmarket today. The corner building is a famous one from the past and is in many etchings and old paintings from Old Edinburgh
