Hi Elaine,
I have been doing some research on my family, which the Muir's are a part of. My g g grandfather was a Hugh Muir from Lanarkshire in Scotland. He was born around 1849 and married a Margaret Rann in 1868 at Wishaw, Scotland.
They had a least one son, my g grandfather William Muir who was born 1878 in Dalserf, Larkhall.
William married Helen Barclay in 1902 at Glasgow. They had at least one child, my grandmother Helen Mooney Muir, born in Larkhall in 1907. Helen married David Bertram Frame in 1930. My mother was Helen Frame.
The interesting point in your posting was related to the soccer. I know that one of the Muir family on my mother's side was successful at soccer. He left Larkhall to go to England and play professional soccer for Middlesborough. His nickname was 'Jinky' Muir.He was originally a coal miner in Lanarkshire. I suspect he was Williams brother.
The soccer connection is interesting... he must be from the same family. If I discover any more info I'll pass it on.
Regards
Robert Eaton
