Find Ancestors

I am trying to find out a bit more about John Muir who married Louisa Hislop on 21 February 1924 in Birmingham. I believe John Muir was born in Ayrshire possibly worked in the Birmingham area for a while then moved back to Ayrshire.

He had a daughter called Louisa Muir born 5 July 1923 and she was born in Birmingham. They then had four other children called Barbara, Teeny, John and Mary but I think John (dob 7 November 1932) and Mary (dob 11 August 1937) were born in Beith, 10 Mains Avenue.

Thank you

Mary

Who does he name as his father on the marriage cert and his occupation

Barbara seems to have been born in Birmingham in 1926 but I can't find a birth for the middle child (Teeny) so perhaps they went back to Scotland sometime after 1926.

Teeny appears to have been born in 1929 in Stourbridge, Worcestershire

Where is BEITH ?? if thats Scotland then you need Scotlands People for further research on his family.

Teeny's birth only shows on the records for England/Wales

Teeny married in 1962

you have to order the cert through Scotlands People

1974 MALCOLM JAMES HUNTER MUIR MARY BARBARA AYR /SOUTH AYRSHIRE 680/00 0106

Birth

1937 MUIR MARY F BEITH (AYR) /AYR 581/00 0064



dont want to look or post further as these people most probably still alive.

You need to look at Scotlands People

Thank you all

Beith is in Ayrshire, Scotland

John Muir's father from the wedding certificate is listed as: Father's name John Muir and he was a coal contractor.

I think the 1974 reference to Barbara is wrong. I think Barbara died as a baby but not sure when.

Fahse, don't worry about future info on Mary 1937 as this is actually me!!

1962 SAUNDERS JAMES MUIR TEENY AYR /AYR 578/00 0160 No Image - thisis definitely right as this is my sister.

I am really keen to find out place of birth for my father as nobody is left in the family who can help ie John Muir born 5 or 7 July 1987.Just tried to pay for credits and was kicked out :-(

Scotlands people credits can be paid with most credit cards. They will usually ask for the security (3 figure) code on the back of the card.

Sometimes the site times out if you haven't been active for several minutes and if you try to "backpage" it can also appear to "kick you out." Just log in again.

Barbara is married to a John Muir but they do not appear to have a son called John

Thinks it rules this out out at the moment

Note that there i also a BEATH in Fife, Scotland. Mining country as well.

John Muir born 1897
His father is listed as John Muir on the wedding certificate he was deceased at the time and he was a Coal contractor.

Glitter Baby - I think you are right this doesn't fit in.

Thanks to you all - I am always astonished at the amount of help you offer.

Am really wondering about this one /took a look at the actual cert cos I,m intrigued


posted above !!

Wonder on this one??
1896 MUIR JOHN M BEITH (AYR) /AYR 581/00 0144

he was born 7th July 1896 Wilson Street Beith illegitimate, mother reg his birth Annie Harrock Muir of Wilson Street a silk weaver

I think Shirley has possibly located the correct birth record
The mother of John Muir b 1896 in Beith was Annie STIRRAT Muir.
The 1901 census posted by glitterbaby is the child with his grandmother.

I think John was raised by his grandmother, and hois own daughter named Barbara will be named for her.
