Hello List, And thank you all so much for all of the responses. The proper information came from Malcolm Lockerbie. The document that he sent shows the Father to be Benjamin as I had thought. The Gravestone of Robert, Benjamin's father is in Mochrum, and I have the image if anyone would like it. My sister has since uncovered more information on Jane Brown, Roberts wife. So now the sinners in my family come out. At least I know who my GG grandfather is (Benjamin) and GGG grandfather (Robert). Larry ---- his original message from Malcolm Lockerbie ---- I have found more about John, he was registered as Caig and was the illegitimate son of Janet Muir born 11 April 1866 in Kirkinner. Wigtownshire. I attach a copy and as you can see Benjamin Caig is declared as the father. In 1871 John was living with Janet and her family 1871 Scotland Census <http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1104&enc=1> John Caig 1871 Census Name: John Caig Age: 4 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867 Relationship: Grandson Gender: Male Where born: Kirkinner, Wigtownshire Registration Number: 889 Registration district: Kirkinner Civil parish: Kirkinner County: Wigtownshire Address: Meikle Campford Occupation: Scholar ED: 1 Household schedule number: 11 Line: 6 Roll: CSSCT1871_189 Household Members: Name Age John Muir <http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1871Scotland&indiv=try&h=45 75366> 60 Jane Muir <http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1871Scotland&indiv=try&h=45 75367> 68 Janet Muir <http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1871Scotland&indiv=try&h=45 75368> 30 Maxwell Muir <http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1871Scotland&indiv=try&h=45 75369> 8 Agnes Muir <http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1871Scotland&indiv=try&h=45 75370> 7 John Caig <http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1871Scotland&indiv=try&h=45 75371> 4 In 1881 I could not find him anywhere in the UK then I found him using Muir as his last name.
