[Nellie-Bear]

Hi all i am very new to this so i hope i do ok at this.

I am looking for info on   James Muir born 1824,  abbey Paisley Scotland.  James married a Ann Harrison she was born in 1832 England. James and Ann married in Tasmania (VDL) 1850.

his parents are john muir and mary struthers.

If anyone has any information on any Muirs that came to VDL (Tasmania) via the Isabella in 1833 it would be greatly appreciated. I believe James came out with a Matthew and a Peter leaving Leith in 1832.

Kind Regards

Hi Audrey, can i ask is there any information on siblings there as all i have is that james arrived in (VDL) Tasmania per the Isabella in 1833, with a Mr Matthew Muir or Nathaniel (its hard to read) and a Peter Muir, Both James and Peter were listed as minors and Matthew was of age. I am unsure what relationship James and Peter were to Matthew. I hope that the one you have listed is the correct one as it would solve a 25 year mystery.

Kind Regards

I have a connection to a large family of Muirs from Renfrew - one of them Elizabeth (born 1799) married name Miller  arrived in Sydney 1834 on the "Othello". I have a list of all her siblings, which include the names James and Matthew (but no Peter). I cannot instantly see a connection, but while looking I found a submitted IGI record for your James parents Matthew Muir and Margaret Stevenson. Could be worth checking the LDS film to find a family connection.

My family of Muirs, in case you can see a connection are
James Muir 1751  married Mary Whyte (White) 1756. Married in 1779 Erskine
Children
Alexander 1780
Thomas  1782
Elizabeth 1784
Janet 1786
James  1788
William  1790
Matthew 1792
John  1794
George 1796
Elizabeth 1799

They were all born in Erskine or Renfrew, but Elizabeth was married & her Scottish children were born in Paisley, & some of the brothers moved there as well, being mentioned in the diary of the trip to Oz.
