I thought I did, but sadly it was for another one of the Adams. Adam and Ann Conroy just seem to disappear for some reason.

I have been through all the Adams again and have narrowed it down to two one born in 1836 who married ann, and one born in 1837 who  was  either born in eglingham or beanley who shows up on the census as living with his father well into his thirties, he married a lass named jane who was 20 years his junior. This Adam was the son of the other Adams uncle Thomas if that makes sense. There is one more who married a Joanna miller but he wasn't from my branch of the family.

I have all the wives names for all the Adams, as far as I can tell the Adam we are concerned with was the one who married Ann, but I was looking on two sites last night and they do seem to drop off the map. My great aunt Ann Drummond was married to Thomas Anderson so I will have a walk up to my cousins on Monday as I have heard him talking about his older brother who used to knock around with the Conroy's of Newcastle in the 1960s. I will keep trying to get to the bottom about Adam and Ann, the name Adam has cursed me for five years now haha.

Yes that is my 3 x ggf's brother Adam right enough who married Ann Conroy. I found a Ann Conroy Drummond on family search.org for the birth of Mary. The thing is there was 4 other Adams all born around the same time, all cousins. And I'm making progress with those but not with the Adam who married Ann unfortunately. Now there was 2 marriages that I'm aware of between Drummond's and Millers, I speak to a descendant of theirs from alnwick quite regularly. I will keep trying to dig more up about Adam and Ann though.

I have the marriage dated at 8th may 1962. But I've had problems with Adams since I started my family research, every son had an Adam in the family. But I believe this is the right one.his family are Robert born 1831. Andrew my 4x ggf born 1840. John born 1833
 Eve born 1839 died 1yr of smallpox. Ann 1846. And jane 1850.

Yes but I'm new to this and made a mistake. The Adam Drummond you mentioned who married Ann Conroy is Andrew Drummond and Mary Ramsey's son , I think I have the name's of the children they had but I'll have to dig through my paperwork for you.

Hi river Tyne lass, I noticed you mentioned Adam Drummond being married to Ann, they are my 5 x great grand parents. They had a son Thomas born in shilbottle in 1804. Andrew born eglingham 1807. Adam born longframlington 1810, jane longfram' 1814 and john born 1819 who died aged approx' 1yr. Ann's father was Andrew Allen basket maker native of lorbottle. I can't seem to find anything more about Adam or Ann prior to 1804, but I have the whole family tree up to 1903 if it's any help to you. Regards jack.

Quote from: River Tyne Lass on Wednesday 25 April 18 19:17 BST (UK)
My Great x 2 Grandparents were James and Elizabeth Conroy nee Fitzpatrick.  They sold earthenware and made besoms and baskets in Northumberland.  They became infamous in 1855 when they were charged along with a family of Andersons/Allen with the murder of their landlady called Dorothy Bewick in a case which came to be known as the 'Matfen Murder.'  They were all acquitted at their trial in 1856. In 1841 there is a nine year old Jane Anderson with the family which would go on to be held for trial with my own ancestors.  This family was made up of  Isabella Anderson known as Tibby, Michael Allen, Jane Anderson and Ellen/Eleanor Anderson.  They were hawkers.

James and Elizabeth's youngest son Thomas married Isabella Miller who was the daughter of Jacob and Jane Miller nee Anderson.  The latter was the daughter of Alexander and Isabella Anderson.  (Morpeth area). 

My ancestor James' had a sister called Ann who married an Adam Drummond.  They had a daughter Mary.  I don't know what became of Ann and family after that.
