Midlothian / Re: edinburgh birth help required
« on: Friday 25 May 18 17:12 BST (UK)  »
George died in Durham in 1854 aged 55 (papermaker)
Jane we have no idea where she ended up but she was alive in Durham in 1871 she may have ended up back in Scotland as some of her children traveled back and forth to Scotland/north of England

Son john 1871 Durham, 1881 Lasswade, 1891 Northumberland
another son had children in both scotland and england
another daughter had children in both scotland and england

two different census put Janes birth around 1792 but 1 puts it around 1800
some English census put their births as Scotland but a couple specify Edinburgh

I know where all ended up apart from james b1825 and alexander born 1827 but i cannot find where any were born.

I did find a james muir who married an Ann Robertson in may 1852 (Glasgow/Edinburgh) but no mention of who his parents were

regards

« on: Wednesday 02 May 18 11:15 BST (UK)  »
thanks lisa

Since the last post i have expanded the search a little and found possible migrations although a little strange.

There is a possibility of George traveling over in 1879 on the Celtic which is fair enough, gives him time to get setup in accommodation and work etc

But on the 1880 SS British crown passenger list Daughter Isabella aged 14 is not listed but on the 1880 census for Philadelphia she is listed with the family so how did she get there?

The strangely the family traveled back to England but have found no details yet of the return Journey except they are all listed on the English 1881 census.

They then traveled back to New YorK in 1883/4 but strangely Catherine the mother and Alexander T the son age 17 were not listed??

Yet I know Alexander did go back over as he is on the 1910 census for Cleveland Ohio

I also know there older son John George Muir and his wife Jane A Muir also traveled over there at some point as they are on the 1900 census their oldest child states born in Pennsylvania around 1889 so it must have been before then.

Thanks for looking

Thanks for the lookup Sandra

A bit of a disappointing result, i was hoping there had been a transcription error as there has been quite often in the past.

The Jane Muir I am looking for was widowed in 1854, this record shows married and the lettering is quite clearly a letter A in this case.

do you know of any good sources for people arriving in pennsilvania? by chance

as i said in my post, some of the family arrived their and i thought she might of been with them.

George Muir and Wife Catherine muir with several children were in england in 1871 and had a daughter Lillias in 1873 but then on the us 1880 census in luzerne but then back in the england in 1881 so they must have moved out their sometime after 73

thanks for the help on the lookup

regards
