Yes, I saw the 1881 census with Daniel, Sarah, and Walter.  A number of the Adamson men were painters - most of them moved around the country painting railway depots. Makes a paint ~merchant~ sound quite stable, lol!

I've started corresponding with someone who has a good deal of John E Adamson and Margaret Cousins descendancy.  Like me, though, he's not yet able to go further back in time.  The more descendants we find, the better chance we have that someone will have the missing clue - or just...one....more....name  :)

This is great!  Thank you! 

"Daniel ADAMSON, 40, Ag lab
Mary, 40"
 I'm not seeing the connection to  the family.  What am I not seeing?  Hmm.... 

The Padmores are another great find!  I knew she had married a Padmore.  :)

I have Daniel Adamson in Croton Dam, New York - but no date.
You are truly wonderful!!  Thank you so much for all your help!

Cataraqui Cemetery is a very large and beautiful old cemetery serving Kingston and area.  I had occasion to ask for a lookup and they were helpful. 

Debbie
Thank you! Is there a way to look up names on that site or should I contact them directly and ask? I hunted around a bit but didn't see a list or search engine on it.

Karen's link (THANK YOU, Karen!) gave me this: http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/search.php?page=2&surname=adamson&county=Frontenac

which is a list of 8 Adamsons but not "mine."  Is the list compreshensive or is there still a chance my fellow is there?

Thank you both!  I need all the help I can get, lol!

Canada Lookup Request / John E Adamson d 1858
« on: Wednesday 31 March 10 05:46 BST (UK)  »
John E Adamson died 11 Jun 1858 at the age of 59 in Kingston, Ontario.  He was born in England and his family moved to Iowa, USA after his death. 
 
Is there any way of finding his cemetery?  I've tried Find A Grave but it doesn't seem to have become popular with  Canadians as yet - only 92 Adamsons for the entire country!  Are there any other sources available or any way of looking up an obituary for him?

Thank you!

I have two Caldwells - both are named James:

James Caldwell born about 1710 in Newton-Stewart, Ardshaw, County Tyrone.  He died about 1785.

He married Mary Calhourn  1710- 1799
Their children:
Agnes Caldwell Atchison d 1802
James Caldwell
John Caldwell
Mary Caldwell Money
Olvier Caldwell d 1813
Andrew Caldwell 1760-1797

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James Caldwell b 1769 in Ardstraw, County Tyrone
died 26 Jun 1812 in Pennsylvania, USA

He married:
Iscablla/Isabella McAskie/McCasky
b abt 1785 in Creevy, Ardstraw, County Tyrone
d 1848 in Pennsylvania, USA

OK, well, that's enough!  None of the information above is written in stone, of course!  I'd love to hear from anyone who shares these (separate but possibly connected!) lines. 

(Also, any help with how I've written out the place names would be very much appreciated!)

Cheshire Lookup Requests / John E Adamson & Margaret H Cousins
« on: Wednesday 31 March 10 04:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello!  I'm hoping for, uh, lots of help! 

John E Adamson
was born about 1799 in Bredbury, Chesire, England
He married Margaret H Cousins before 1834
He traveled to New York USA in 1854
and immediately went to Kingson, Ontario, Canada
He died 11 Jun 1858 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada

His parents were Daniel and Ann Adamson.  (That's all I've got, sorry!)

Margaret H Cousins
was born about 1811 in England
She died 25 Feb 1889 in Le Mars, Plymouth County, Iowa, USA

I have no information at all about her parents. 

The children of John and Margaret Adamson were:
1) Daniel Adamson b 23 Aug 1833 in Westport, Ireland
He married Elizabeth Preston
2) Joseph Adamson b abt 1839 in England, d abt 1870 in Iowa, USA
3) Thomas Adamson b 27 Apr 1841 in Devonport Barracks, England, d Nov 1912 in Iowa, USA
He married Mary Ellen Mellor Jones (1843-1907)
4) Charles Adamson b 1847 in England
he married Basilia Gravatt

So, basically, I'd love ANYTHING!  I'd love to have better birth information, marriage information, tons more about the parents of John and Margaret, their siblings, ANYTHING. 

Can any kind soul help me?
