Hello!

I am currently helping my grandfather to discover our family tree! At the moment we are looking for a James Muir born c.1877, he moved from Scotland and married Eliza Laundon in 1897. At the moment I am interested in finding out anything about him, time and cause of death? And also the reasons why he moved to Leicestershire form Ayrshire. Any help on these topics and how I would go about it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Thomas.
