Very strange - the poor guy was only born 1900 so 18 years old. No other reference to a marriage.

Not sure about his brothers, Hugh & Peter. Very common names & no middle name.

Could not find a match on War Graves, some possible marriages in Fife.

A family summary here https://www.ancestry.co.uk/genealogy/records/janet-hunter-24-xn6rp?geo_a=r&o_iid=41020&o_lid=41020&o_sch=Web+Property

Siblings seem to have spread across the world.

Hugh www.wikitree.com/wiki/Muir-2602 to the USA. Possibly also Peter and David. All three are showing as having died there.

Looks like some of the family also headed off to Australia. Sisters Annie (died in Victoria Australia in 1958) and Mary (died in 1969 in Victoria, Australia). Sisters Jane and Agnes too it seems https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/K8J8-PH9/agnes-muir-1890-1979

Sons went to the US and daughters to Australia it seems...except for John who is reported to have also gone to Australia  ::)

Sad. Basic death details on all the siblings but no details on brother Robert's death.

Not sure what family is left in the UK now  :-\

Relatives Notified and Address    Widow Mrs McGlashan 125, Nether Street, Kirkcaldy.


There is a David MacGlashan showing as a tenant at 125 Nether Street in the 1920 VRs.

Added: Christina Muir (not indexed under Wh*te, just Muir) married David McGlashan in 1919 in Edinburgh.
