Annie, I have so many names and dates related to this line of my family  that I would be up all night!  Unless, of course you are only referring to Reginald.  He was born 10 may 1870 on a ship off Bombay Harbor, India.  I have the name of the ship but will need to look it up.  He is the son of Charlotte Maria Ann Wilkinson King and James Muir.  He married Jane Ellen (Nellie) Blackett Jennings (who I met as a young child not long before she died in 1955).  They married on 29 July 1892 in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Northumberland.  He had 3 children with Nellie.  Jane Kathleen Muir b. 4 Mar 1893, James Jennings Muir (my grandfather) b. 3 June 1894 Cardiff, Wales (possibly at sea and just registered here), and Charlotte Gertrude Muir b. 21 Nov 1896.  I have so much more info but it is getting close to midnight.  I have never scanned text before but if my scanner does that, maybe I can scan some of this.  I can definitely send more names than you want from Barbados relatives!  I do know that my grandfather was somewhere around 11 or 12 when he came here with his mother and sisters.  I will write in the daytime next time!  Good night and nice to meet you!.

It's Sedona here at 11 pm our time and I need to go to bed but I didn't want you guys to think I forgot about you!  In the meantime, here is a brick wall for you:  my great grandfather, Reginald Luckock Muir disappeared and the family never knew what happened to him. It seems he did come to the USA, maybe with a brother but no one in the family knows what became of him. There was something about a bad investment in a mine in the United States (having borrowed money from a brother in England).  His wife and 3 children (including my grandfather) moved to the USA on their own before he did, I think.  We have no info of there ever being a divorce but wonder if he married again anyway and may have had other children.  He may have died in the US but we can't find a death record. My father and his brother and sister and I have all tried to find some record of Reginald but can't.  He did send money to his family for a little while.  I thought my grandfather once told me that at some time he was in Texas but my father said he never heard that.  Anyway, there is a tidbit for now.  I'm sure I have several more "brick walls", as well as being able to fill in some gaps for you.  Good night and thank you, Sedona.
