Lanarkshire / Re: Humphrey family

Going to try and pick your brains one last time, please. OK, I know that there was an Adam Humphrey(junior) born 1901, son of Adam and Jane (nee Love) Humphrey. Can't find any marriage or death record for him after that. Any suggestions? Had thought about possible emigration - any sites that would give me further info?

World War One / Corporal Adam Humphrey
« on: Friday 02 November 12 09:33 GMT (UK)  »
Would any one be able to give me any information on the pre/ww1 service record of Corporal Adam Humphrey, 7795, 1st Batallion King's own Scottish Borderers? I know that he was killed on 17/8/1917 and is buried in Cement House Cemetery, Belgium. I was advised that because it is an early service number, he may have been in the army before WW1. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

ev, yes Adam's parents were both deceased. His wife is    Jane Smellie Love. I found 2 births registered to Adam (Jnr) and Jane (Love)  - an Adam 20/10/1901 and an Agnes 1/11 1907 (today!!). Sadly I also found that the little girl died on 7/11/1918 age 11yrs. The amazing thing is that the father (Adam) IS the ww1 soldier previously mentioned - gives his details on the death certificate of Agnes - what a journey today has been!

Thank you one and all. Ev - confirming that the marriage in 1901 is the correct Adam junior. Don't think the ww1 death is him. Would like to ask sancti were to find the information regarding the address given in Glasgow.

Thanks ever so much, would you have any ideas on why both her husband and son were in Govan poorhouse in 1891 and she wasn't? Would you know were she was in 1891?

Margaret was my grandmother, she died in N.Ireland in the mid 1950s, can't find any record of death for Sarah in N.Ireland. Looked up the link for the Govan inmates but could not see the details for both Adams, probably me just being silly, please could you tell me if this record was on the actual Govan poorhouse record. Thanks!

My family moved at one time from Co.Antrim to Scotland.I believe it was to the Govan area. Please could anyone help me, their names were Adam and Sarah Humphrey and two children, Margaret and Adam. I believe that both Adams may have been in the poor house. Any information would be amazing, especially regarding deaths etc.
