Title: James MUIR Kilmarnock
Post by: jonacris on Sunday 17 January 21 14:47 GMT (UK)

Hello, my uncle Jimmy, born 10th Oct 1910, died 23 Sep 1974 lived in Kilmarnock. Uncle Jimmy and  Aunty Flora were at our wedding in 1972. I can find no record of a marriage on Scotland's People and on his death certificate he is shown as single. Can anyone identify Aunty Flora please?
Thank you

They were perhaps just living together.  If they weren't married there won't be any way of identifying her.  Did they have any children?  Who reported his death?

I have Muir`s from Kilmarnock in my tree and it is quite a hard name to trace as Muir, Moore, More are sometimes used as surname.
