Hi all,

Since my error with the birth details for James Muir, I have been doing some more digging. Because I could not find another James Muir born in Leicestershire, I wondered if there was a chance that his name had been altered or mis-spelt. After checking I have come up with the following possibility. In the 1881 census I found James Moore in the workhouse in Market Bosworth. His date of birth is shown as 1876 & place of birth as Derbyshire, although his mother's (Mary Ann Hart) birth place is Carlton Leics. His sibling sisters are shown to be born in Market Bosworth. There is a marriage for Mary Ann & James Moore registered in 1869 in Ashby de la Zouch. So there you are, what do you think?

The James Muir I quoted was in fact, still born. oops. Leicester 7a 172.

The 1911 census will give you his birth place.

Tom,

I am fairly certain that the James Muir who married Eliza Laundon (My ancester) was in fact born in Leicestershire. See BMD record for Leicester 1877 March Quarter ref 7a 282.

There is this death in Leicestershire that could be a possibility (would be about the right age at time of death):-

Name: James Muir
Death Registration Month/Year: 1939
Age at death (estimated): 63
Registration district: Barrow Upon Soar
Inferred County: Leicestershire
Volume: 7a

I am looking for a James Muir who was born in 1877, moved from Scotland to Leicester and married Eliza Laundon in 1897.

I am searching for his death record, and hoping that an obituary might give some clues of why he moved and help withe tree. Only problem I have no idea when he would of died, no clues... :(

Any help would be great!

Thom :)
