William Murray (June 17, 1839 - July 15, 1898) was a businessman and political figure in Ontario, Canada. He represented Renfrew North in the House of Commons of Canada as a Liberal member from 1874 to 1875.
He was born in Goulbourn Township in 1839, the son of James Murray, an Irish immigrant,[1] and Elizabeth Burrows, and was educated in Goulbourn Township.[2] He entered business with his older brother Thomas in Pembroke.[1] In 1864, he married Margaret Mary Foran.[2] He was declared elected in 1874 after Peter White's election was appealed. In 1876, Murray was unseated and White won the subsequent by-election. In 1884, Thomas and William registered a claim on a nickel deposit near Sudbury which later became the Murray Mine, the first nickel mine established in the area.[3] He died in Pembroke at the age of 59.[2]
