Adams from Scotland - 2 births

[GalaLass]

Hi All,

Bit of a long shot but....

I have my Adams family do a bunk over the Border to England for a few years in the late 1890's with their brood.

They have 3 children born "England", Hugh Adams abt 1885, Remote, Cranston, Sunderland , John Adams abt 1895 and Isaac Adams 3rd May 1898.  By 1899 they were back home in the Haddington area. 

John died 2 july 1916 at  The Somme, and Isaac ( Uncle Ike on his motorbike) died 21 Dec 1982 North Berwick.  Hugh is my Grt Grandfather & he died 12 Dec 1960 in Haddington. Does this line ring a bell for anyone?  If only they'd stayed for a census!

For Info, the parents are Hugh Adams & Agnes Blyth M 31 Dec 1875 & the rest of the children are:
Charles b abt 1874, Alison, b 8 Jun 1877, William B 3 May 1881, James b 21 Dec 1883, Margaret & George followed on their return to Haddington.

All of my other researchis Scotland based, so I'm stalled for now on these boys, & Hugh in particular.  Any hints or info gratefully received.

Thanks

Karen

Karen,

You say the Adams family was in England "for a few years in the late 1890s"

And you list the England-born as Hugh b1885 John 1895 and Isaac 1898 ?

That's mid 80s to late 90s

And where is Cranston ?

Hi

I'm glad you picked up on this Michael. I started looking this up earlier but we did have a few thunderstorms earlier on so I went off line.

I recall finding  an Isaac Adams on Free BMD , registered Sunderland, June q,  1888. Nothing circa 1898 in Northumberland or Durham.

1901 scottish census shows Isaac Adams born 1888, not 1898.
2nd quarter 1888, Sunderland 10a 631

So I did find the correct one 

Any Johns in 1885 then?

John is shown on the 1901 as being born c. 1886
Possibly 4th quarter 1885, Sunderland 10a 659

Hi Jen 

Thanks for amending your reply #5 

I think Karen has made some serious errors in her dates
