Hi, I was looking for george Bell and marion anderson who married  in 1827 and when i googled  just in a wild hit and hope i came across the names archibald anderson and jean hogg- marion's parents names- my 5 x great grandfather and grandmother.

There was a list on Andersons you put down and i wasnt too sure if they were children of this couple or just anderson names and dates.

thanks in advance,

Andrew

Fantastic- Ive searched to see hat record and that is my link, but as you say william mcadam is a common name. as that other thread provs- many mcadams in one area, and none quite match the dates form mine. I still ponder if he is maybe of iris decent?? or s he 30 years older than every record of hi says haha i just dont know. Its always girthon and his age always links back 1809-1811. I have looked at children for wiliam and marion/may mary/ grier/grierson as her name seems quite changeable-

she was alive with george in 1841 sencus and infact seems to die aged 91!! but her parents are also unknown.

I wonder if it will always remain a mystery- would it be a lost/destroyed record perhaps? or a record from a different church??


Anyway, thank you both for the hlp and information, i will continue searching and solving this puzzle :D

the census records suggest 1809 -1811 but nothing appears then :( there is a george bogue? mcadam in 1819 but im oretty certain that is not my george- maybe he was with a different church rather than the usual? :S

Kirkcudbrightshire / George McAdam Girthon and family ??

Hi im very new to al this haha so lets get started-

Im looking for my great great grandfather George McAdam- i have him in 1841 with a bann to Sarah Kennedy and in 1851 census and so on- what i cant find is his birth record ???

By looking at the children he and sarah kennedy had:
Elizabeth Johnstone McAdam 1842
Marion McAdam 1844
Anne McAdam 1846
William McAdam 1848
Mary McAdam 1849
John McAdam1852
Alexander McAdam 1853
Margaret McAdam 1854
then my namesake Andrew McAdam 1858

it would seem that the parents of george were william mcadam and marion? i know that sarah kennedys parents were alexander and elizabeth.

The census states george was bron in girthon  and their bann was announced in penninghame-not too far away i believe and there apear to be mcadams in wigtown aswell!!!

Can ANYONE find out if there was a likely william mcadam in these areas at the time or any family link ups!!

Any info would be much appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Andrew McAdam
