I'm from Australia tracing Murden family

Welcome to the forum @SueC :)

Do you have any further details about William, please - approximate birth year, place of birth etc?

Let us know what information that you already have so that we don't end up telling you stuff that you already know. ;)
 
Aha! Is he the William Herbert Arthur MURDEN, son of Joseph and Kate, who was living at 29 Port Arthur Road, Nottingham in the 1911 census? If so, he was aged 16 and working as a Telegraph Messenger. :)
