Email from Noel Staley 30 June 2012:

Hi, I've been in touch before re the family of Thomas Greig and Anne Staley, every now and then this couple needle me and I try to dig a bit further, attached are a couple of things that seem to tie the
Greig Hogg family of Muirkirk together. (do you have access to Muirkirk Death Records?).

<http://www.ayrshireroots.com/Genealogy/Records/Post%201855/Ayrshire%201872%20Deaths%202.htm>
Mary Campbell, 21, January 29, 1872 at Muirkirk, Domestic Servant, Single, Illegitimate, Robert Campbell, Nail Maker and Isabella Greig, James Hogg, Cousin.
Muirkirk Deaths.
Noel Staley - .(in brackets are my thoughts as to what they are):
Mary Campbell, 21, January 29, 1872 at Muirkirk, Domestic Servant, Single, Illegitimate, (father) Robert Campbell, Nail Maker and (mother) Isabella Greig, (informant) James Hogg, Cousin

Is Isabella Greig related to Thomas Greig ? a James Hogg is a 2nd. Cousin of Thomas Staley Greig, James lived Main St. Muirkirk, 1893, Informant on T S Greig's Death Certificate.
James is living Main St. Muirkirk, in the 1891 Census, a 47 yo Coalminer, with his family. Possibly James is the son of Thomas/Thomson Weir Hogg and Sarah Greig [P695]
I'd love to sort them all out, no doubt you would too.
Regards, Noel Staley.
