Children of Robert and Henrietta (Brown) Muir

2.1. William Muir (about 1826-unknown)

According to the 1841 census record for Robert Muir's family, William Muir was born about 1826 in Lanarkshire, Scotland. I assume he is a son, but have not yet confirmed it. He was born two years before Robert and Henrietta's marriage; so he was born out of wedlock or had a different mother. However, only one marriage was listed on Robert Muir's death certificate.

Jean Muir was born on 8 April 1834 in Avondale, Lanark. She was Robert and Henrietta (Brown) Muir's fourth child. Her birth was registered with the established Church of Scotland in Avondale, and no baptismal date was mentioned on the registration record. No other record has been located for Jean, but I assume she died before their fifth child, also named Jean, was born in 1837.

Henrietta Muir was born on 20 January 1836 at East Kilbride, Lanark, and baptized on 14 February 1836 at the same location. Her birth and baptism were registered with the Established Church of Scotland in East Kilbride. She was Robert and Henrietta (Brown) Muir's fifth child. No other record has record has been located for Henrietta, but I assume she died before their eighth child and sixth daughter, also named Henrietta was born in 1841.

Jean Muir was born on 8 October 1837 at East Kilbride, Lanark, and was baptized on 5 November 1837 at the same location.

In 1851 she was living with her siblings in East Kilbride and Jean was a 14-year-old student. She died on 19 August 1856 in East Kilbride at the age of 18.
