Son of James MUIR and Mary FRASER Born Mearns, Renfrew 1842. Died in a lunatic asylum of a broken back several days after being convicted of murder by Perth magistrates court. 1. Marriage to Margaret WARES 1863 Calton Glasgow Children My G GrandMother Marion ALLISON MUIR. born 1864 died 1934. Margaret WARES MUIR born 1867. Mary FRASER MUIR born 1869 and died with her mother Margaret WARES MUIR. 2. Married Catherine Morrison 1870 Glasgow. Children: William MUIR born 1871 Glasgow Murdered someone (?) Died, in what I consider suspicious circumstances. Yeah, he was nutso (and a butcher-flesher by trade) but I cant find any info out on him in general. I have the GROS-Edinburgh certs for family. I have an inventory of his will. No will and I dont think he died intestate. Anyone know of what happened to his second wife Catherine MORRISON MUIR? And his child William MUIR? I can also share files with anyone. Copies from GRO will only be site back ups I paid to view, not the originals I have- copyright. Sorry. Please post to site as well as me personally. Everyone can be assisted then. Bronwen- b1b2j3@hunterlink.net.au
