Hello, everyone! I am digging down deeper into my Scottish roots and I find I need some help - I am currently stuck.
To start off basic...
I have a relative named Margaret Muir, who was born in Wigtownshire on April 9th, 1820. When I found that parish birth record, I saw that her parents were listed: Robert Muir and Catherine MacLean.
That's where I'm stuck.
I can't find a single thing at all on this Robert Muir, nor can I find anything on Catherine MacLean (this is the side I am interested in, in particular), other than this confusing detail...
I found a Catherin Mclean (not Maclean, as the birth cert said) who married a Robert Muir in Glasgow on 18 May 1828. This, at first, seems like it would be paydirt: the names are close enough and they match in a similar/ish area to Wigtownshire, but they were married in 1828 and their daughter Margaret was born in 1820... would this be considered odd for the time period? Again, I don't know for sure if it's MacLean or Mclean.
Now, even if we take this marriage as correct, I still cannot find a single thing further.
Does anyone have any insight or help they would be willing to lend? It would mean a lot - I've been stuck here for a couple weeks!
Thank you!
