Hi Highway

just going through the posts on this forum

i know we'll be talking outside of this forum on the Adamsons, but my mother as a kid was always told that the family came from Manchester.

Joseph Adamson Married Anne Murphy 11th Sept 1854 St John Dublin. Fathers were Joseph Adamson and William Murphy. Thats as far back as I got. Couldn't find a birth for Joseph so maybe the place to look is Manchester. I have a list of brothers and sisters for your John will send you a copy tomorrow.
