Taken some work, but have found the connection - Alice Maria Mainland was Frederick's first cousin once removed's niece, so Frederick's cousin Catherine Alice Adams brother in law George Edward Mainland's daughter was Alice Maria.

Dear Jenny
                Pleased you still have an interest, I post the link below on Frederick. I will try to get to the Jersey Archives next week to see if the wills reveal any clues, Fredericks is shot, but Alice's maybe of interest.
I will see if I can find out when they purchased "Beauvoir" and if in deed Alice did buy it with Frederick.

Sadly I can not find the Adams connection with Alice, it does not seem to be a close connection, as when I found the marriage, I could not connect it. I think it was a Susanah Adams, and circa 1830, but not sure.

Also a link to the house "Beauvoir" with information from an Adams descendant:

There were a number of Polish exiles (2,000) who came to Britain after the November Uprising 1830, and Spring of Nations 1848. I know some of the men settled and married locals.
Also there was trade between Poland and Scotland.

On two of her travel documents Alice is noted as cousin. I am unable to find any family connection, but did find a marriage of an Adams to a Mainland, but neither seem connected, so maybe Alice was a distant cousin.

She was an assistant to Frederick and did some indexing.

Fredrick was married to Mary Naomi Bull, but not found much on her.

Interested in Fredrick Adams and Alice Mainland, not sure what the connection with them was, Frederick was a keen Diatom researcher and Alice did write an index to Diatom works.
