Another dull drizzling day but less fog. Mild. After seeing a few town cases (including Mrs Blair, Tower Street1 from who [sic] head I had excised a wen + F N Scott, 2 of whose kids have Scarlet F.2) I drove to Sinton to see Mrs Warwick.3 After dinner I walked to Cannon Street + Buccleuch Road. Attended evening service. Good many new cases. Nancy + Jack4 in Edinburgh with the McCregans.5
1 Perhaps Agnes Moffat Blair née Hunter of Tower Street, Selkirk, wife of John Purvis Blair, flesher.
2 Francis N Scott, house painter of High Street, Selkirk. He was married to Marion B L Scott née Lumsden and had four children, John G, Francis N, Walter Rb and Edith.
3 Dr Muir attended Mrs Warwick on 5 January 1904 about glass in her foot. She is is so far unidentified.
4 John ‘Jack’ Roberts junior (1876-1966) and Agnes Amelia ‘Nancy’ Roberts née Muir (1878-1948), Dr Muir’s second daughter.
5 The Editor is grateful for a reader who suggests McCregan. The only problem with identification beyond this is that there is nobody named M’Cregan, McRegan or McCregan (or similar variants but with two g’s) recorded in Scotland in the 1901 Census.

it might be McCregans? (I’m the Grandson of John Murray who was the son of Murray, the bicycle shop owner. Papa Murray always talked about a bicycle which was called “The Ettrick Forrest”His mother worked at Abbotsford, I believe)
He always spoke fondly about Dr Muir although I now realise he was less important to Dr Muir than he was to him.
Thank you for a fascinating insight into the times.

Thank you for your message. I do wonder from time to time how warm a personality Dr Muir had. Certainly his children don’t seem to have been happy people (Nancy excepted perhaps) and Patrick moved as far as humanly possible away from his father in 1902 and they hardly saw one another again. If Dr Muir didn’t acknowledge the Murrays, he certainly got good support from them – as with most cyclists he relied on a local bike shop to some extent. Best wishes, Paul
