Charles McAdam family of Rothes in 1900

[dex345]

Looking for anybody related to the Charles McAdam family of Rothes Scotland listed in the 1901 census.  My grandfather George McAdam was listed as 7 years old at the time.  At a later date he would have moved to Dunfermline where my father, also named George was born.  The family later moved to Canada.  Charles McAdam was a shoemaker in Rothes and he married Elizabeth Burgess.

dex345, Welcome to rootschat. 

Do you know where in Canada they went and about when?

 :)Charles McAdam of Rothes did not immigrate to Canada but his son George and his family did in 1930 and settled in Edmonton, Alberta.

Charles MacAdam was born on 12 July 1853 in Boharm, son of Charles MacAdam and Elizabeth Auld. On 31 March 1876 he married Elspet (not Elizabeth) Burgess, born Rothes in 1848/9, daughter of Charles Burgess and Jane Mantach. Their children included Jane (1876/7), Charles J (1878/9), Isabella (1881/2), William (1883/4), Arthur (1886/7) and Elizabeth (1888/9). I have the 1881 and 1891 census records, but not the 1901.

Before her marriage Elspet had a son, Walter Anderson Burgess, born 8 April 1870. He became a cooper, married Catherine Milne and emigrated to Canada with his family Walter (1899), Millicent (1901), Elsie (1903), and Easter Mary (1910). A fifth child, Robert, was born and died in 1908. I am in touch with descendants in Canada.

Elspet Burgess' father Charles Burgess was the son of Charles Burgess and Isabella Milne. I have quite a lot of information about their descendants, but so far I have not been able to link this Charles to my own family.

If you would like all the details, PM me.

I believe that the son born in1886 is Alfred and not Arthur. He was my grandfather. He married Janet Wood in Berwick on Tweed in 1911.
 Jane McAdam, known as Jeanie, b.1867 married Peter Morrison, a coppersmith from Rothes. They moved to Sunderland.
I believe there were other family members in Berwick on Tweed, but I have no leads on this except that they were known as Jock and Tib. Can anyone help?
There were also family members in Sunderland, Bob and Flora, probably born early 1900s. Again I have no leads unless Peter Morrison is the link.

Thanks for your message
I'm not sure about your lead or if it is applicable to my family but I'll be certain to follow up on it.  Thanks for the information.

Yes, my error. Slip of the brain or something.
