Edward James is probably:
MURRAY, Edward JamesCB 1498703 Birth
Sex:MaleFather:William John
Mother:Curtain Lucy
Event Date:12 Mar 1863
Reg Year:1863Reg State:Tasmania
Ref Number:5950

This would indicate that Lucy CURTAIN is your William MURRAY's wife.

This gives you:
MURRAY, Alfred HenryCB 1497849 Birth
Sex:MaleFather:William John
Mother:Curtain Mary Lucy
Event Date:01 Oct 1864
Reg Year:1864Reg State:Tasmania
Ref Number:7244

MURRAY, GeorgeCB 1499333 Birth
Sex:MaleFather:William John
Mother:Curtain Lucy
Event Date:18 Jan 1868
Reg Year:1868Reg State:Tasmania
Ref Number:9855

MURRAY, MargaretCB 1500553 Birth
Sex:FemaleFather:William John
Mother:Curtain Mary Lucy
Event Date:03 Sep 1861
Reg Year:1861Reg State:Tasmania
Ref Number:4658

MURRAY, Sarah JaneCB 1501428 Birth
Sex:FemaleFather:William John
Mother:Curtain Lucy Mary
Event Date:19 May 1866
Reg Year:1866Reg State:Tasmania
Ref Number:8577

But, no William jnr.

Hang on, wait a second. "Is this a William I see before me?"
MURRAY, William JohnCB 1501944 Birth
Father:William John
Mother:Curtain Mary Lucy
Event Place:W'Bool
Reg Year:1857Reg State:Victoria
Ref Number:6714

I would assume that W'Bool is Warnambool (not sure of the spelling,
sorry).

So, you now also have a couple of other Victorian births:
MURRAY, ErnestCB 1499042 Birth
Father:William John
Mother:Curtain Lucy
Event Place:Warr
Reg Year:1872Reg State:Victoria
Ref Number:12852

MURRAY, Lucy AnnaCB 1500465 Birth
Father:William John
Mother:Curtain Mary Lucy
Event Place:Den'Gton
Reg Year:1858Reg State:Victoria
Ref Number:18020

Before I give you William & Mary's marriage, let me give a marriage of
possible siblings of the two.
MURRAY, Patrick JohnCM 715502Marriage
Spouse:CURTAIN, Catherine
Marriage Place:Kilarney
Reg Year:1884Reg State:Victoria
Ref Number:970

Ok, so I only did that because I didn't find them at first. Now, I've
found them and Mary's surname was misspelt.
MURRAY, William JohnCM 715867Marriage
Spouse:CURTIN, Mary Lucy
Reg Year:1856Reg State:Victoria
Ref Number:1372


Now, for some deaths. The first one is a "possible" only, based on
location and parents.
MURRAY, CatherineCD 647827 Death
Father:William
Mother:U Mary
Age at Death:1
Birthplace:Vict
Reg Year:1858Reg State:Victoria
Ref Number:3103

MURRAY, Catherine EllenCD 647853 Death
Father:William John
Mother:Mary Lucy
Birthplace:War
Reg Year:1860Reg State:Victoria
Ref Number:5879

[The second almost verifies the first. Why? Because - despite there
beign no registration for a Catherine - they obviously wanted
Catherine as a name. They may have used the name twice and lost each
daughter called Catherine.]

That was all I found.


Hope something here was helpful,
