Would some kind soul please be able to help with this teaser. We are looking for our James Muir born 1807 the youngest brother of three siblings. He has a brother Phillip and another Saul. There are so many James, sons of James but no Miriam as the mother. We have a very sketchy history of him just that he went and worked as an apprentice in Edinburgh in the Ballance and Scot printing firm which went bankrupt. No idea which town or county he comes from, he was a bit of a character. there is a gap of 10 years when we do not know where he goes.
All we know he was supposedly born in scotland, his mother was Miriam Barnston.
I just wonder if Miriam came from chester and cheshire as there are quite a few Barnston families there.
Thank you in advance.
