Hello everyone,

I am struggling to advance my MUIR/McINTYRE lineage and having
some difficulty.

MUIR died before 1855 at Kilbirnie and the McINTYRE death has
not been located 1855+ in Scotland.

They had one surviving son named Neil MUIR who was last seen at
80 in the 1891 Census for Kilbirnie. My research has found no
known grandsons and therefore Neil was the end of the line.

I know nothing about the existance or available of obituaries
for this time period and would appreciate any and all advice
and suggestions regarding advancing this search through any
resource that you would suggest.

I have recently written to Jill McColl hoping that there may
be an MI in her records for this family.

I suspect that Agnes McIntyre was from the Campbeltown/Killean
and Kilchenzie areas of Argyll and that David Muir was from the
Muirs of Lugtonridge, Beith...........would love to hear from
anyone with an interest in these families........

Thank you for any help,
