Ship records were not really kept than, So no immigration records were not kept. As you could pay the passage that all that mattered back than.  If you can find an old family Bible that is how I knew my family came over in 1851 on the Sea Walrus.

We also know Roy was back in Canada (If he ever left) when he enlisted 7 September 1914. The fact he puts his uncle as next of kin makes me wonder was his mother passed on by then? Even tho we think we have other marriages after that.

I tried to help John a long time ago.  I have a long pdf file on the family. I am glad I kept it.  Also off topic on this I found this might be of help re William Armstrong in Barrie Library.

Armstrong, William (Death notice)   appeared in Northern Advance, 31 Mar 1910, p. 4.

Very possible that Roy's uncle raised him, not his mother.  George Frederick Muir passed away in Toronto 31 Oct 1957, maybe some one could look up his orbit, and see what it says.  Also there are a lot of Muir's in birth, death, marriage notices in newspapers in the Barrie Library. Roy's aunt Esther Anne Muir Riehl Moffatt passed in Toronto 31 Dec 1912, there might be an orbit for her.  I truly believe that Hannah was married 4 times.

George Muir Obit

Toronto Star Friday, November 1, 1957  Section News Page 36

He must have married twice? His one wife is listed as Mary Jane Martin and one son I found on a fast glance is  Fredk Geo Octubas Muir

Has anyone checked Prospect Cemetery to see who all in the Muir family is buried there?
