Mary Barron Muir m. James Reginald Roberts in Liverpool on 29 Sep 1896.  A daughter with the curious name Neula Muir Roberts was born in Liverpool on 20 Jun 1901, and died 5 days later.

Curious anomoly, Paul what made you look in the 1891 census?

Mea culpa! It's ok Paul, I got why you did, the 1896 should be 1886!

I'd forgotten MR's posting (along with much else in this splendid, multi-layered thread! :)) - I just looked at the Summary and decided to poke around where it looked like there was something we hadn't followed.

You're right - this is very curious!  Wonder what was going on? ???

It's conceivable, of course, that the Mary B in 1891 is a different one to the Mary B in 1901... but that seems unlikely!  With sister Gertrude there, it must be 'our' Mary.

(Nearly 1200 posts before we get a whiff of scandal in this family ... they must have been a right bleedin' proper lot!!!!)

A classic in its own lunchtime! 

Hearty thanks are due to Sarah for such consummate skill in keeping this thread on track - despite the best efforts of some of us (and I include myself!) to divert here and there.

You have Marshalled a thread that brought us back for Muir and Muir time and time again... 95 hits on Google for "Rootschat Challenge" is testament enough.

Many thanks!

Paul

PS

And a big thanks to the kids for randomly choosing such an interesting census entry in the first place! :)
