Permalink Reply by Geri Chubb on March 21, 2012 at 11:38am I am doing orbits for my own family. And I found that the siblings orbits in regards to living relatives are wrong. So I went to the first orbit of the first parent that passed away and used it. The 2 parent orbit in regards to children surviving was also wrong. So orbits might not be the answer to find who is alive or passed on.
Permalink Reply by Just M on March 21, 2012 at 12:26pm In the case of the 1st obit here we do know it is wrong and that there are at least 6 children still alive when Mr Muir passed away:
Hannah, Esther, Mary Jane, Thomas Henry, Frederick George & Elizabeth Lillian
Yes obits can be wrong but in many cases are right and so very much help the research

Does anyone have any other suggestions where i may look for her obit? Did find a marriage notice for Lilian Muir to Robert Prince, but no mention of Hannah. Again sorry
