MUIR & STEWART Arthur MUIR and Mary STEWART had children Christina, Alexander, Janet, Agnes, Arthur, James, John, Hugh and Mary Jane between 1846 and 1868 in Campbeltown. Hugh (1863 - 1928) is my ancestor, and considerable research has been done on his family, but my knowledge about the other children is pretty scant. If any others are researching this family, I'd be happy to exchange information. SMITH & SHEARER Hugh MUIR's (1863 - 1928) wife was Ellen SMITH (1861 - 1936), and she was the daughter of Malcolm SMITH of Islay (1826 - 1871) and Ellen or Helen SHEARER (1837 - 1865) This couple had children Elizabeth (born 1859), Ann (1863) and Dugald (1865) in addition to Ellen, and there may have been others. I have no knowledge of the families of Elizabeth, Ann or Dugald, and would welcome the opportunity to exchange information. To ensure that we don't duplicate work, I should point out that I have the 1881 census, and have transcribed most of the relevant birth, marriage and death records for the direct ancestors, and some of those for siblings. With thanks for any help and advice Sarah Galbraith Cheshire, England
