James Currie Adamson ww1 Pte

[MonicaL]

Ok, making some sense for me a little the different names.

Is it that a Janet Britton married a male Call. He died. She remarried in 1913 a James Currie Adamson?

There is a marriage in the Glasgow area (Dennistoun) in 1901 for a Janet Britton and an Alexander Call. A move to Wolverhampton maybe which is why we have at least two births (Robina and Davina in 1913) showing under the surname of Call and mother Britton. Alexander dies ? Janet's marriage to a James Currie Adamson in 1914 with her showing as Janet Call? Edit: Davina shows as Call and Adamson, with mother's maiden name Britton. From this, all births in Wolverhampton up to 1920 showing as Adamson, with mother's maiden name Britton.

Yes that's all correct information, he married Janet call in 1913 i have there certificate. I wondered where davina had come from because that name had popped up. Janet had quite a few children it gets complicated. As I'm new at all this I'm still learning. Robina was born in 1912 I think

You mentioned earlier a sister/daughter Georgina. Wondering if this is Janet Britton/Call in Kilsyth Stirlingshire for the 1911 census.

Janet Call 30
Annie Call 9
Janet Call 7
Georgina Call 5

This is just from the general index on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Yes I think there all from her previous marriage but none it is getting me closer to finding about my great grandad

Good work Monica 

If like me, I get confused with info. giving married surnames then (born x) as it's so much easier working with maiden names from start off.

Anyway...

all births in Wolverhampton up to 1920 showing as Adamson, with mother's maiden name Britton.

Do you have an occupation for J C Adamson?

It may be an idea to get the last birth (1920) for an occupation.

Another thought is whether "D N Adamson and Robina Patterson (otherwise adamson)" were husband & wife or brother & sister?
Looking for a marriage for D N Adamson may give a father's name or finding him on 1911 may help with POB (Place of birth)?
I couldn't locate J C in 1911 either but haven't looked for D N Adamson.
Could find neither on any census' in Scotland from 1881 

I couldn't find a birth for J C or D N Adamson in Scotland i.e. may have been illegitimate but took on their father's surname which wasn't unusual?

Does J C's enlistment not give a NOK (Next of Kin) which may name his mother & an address?
No father named on marriage may be an indicator he didn't know his father's name?

Edited as I note he was already married when he enlisted

Think I've found Robina in 1911 Cartwright St. W'Hampton Staffs.
Head of House D.H.Adamson.
RG14; Piece: 17051; Schedule Number: 186

close match in 1881 Aberdeen:
Agnes Adamson   53
Mary Adamson   17
David H Adamson 18

1901 in Dundee:
James Muat   57
Elizabeth Muat   58
Jane Purves   86
David Adamson   36 boarder. Occ. Bill poster same as 1911 census Staffs.

1901 Robina is in Galashiels with George & William (see 1911 Staffs.) & husband George.

Jim, with what you mention, I think this might be D H Adamson's birth details https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYYW-BD9

Added: From the general index, age not a perfect match though from 1911 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XW7Y-RNL

So just need to find A James Currie Adamson to Robert & Agnes 
Maybe they were cousins.

Progress Jim, great! 

Sometimes you need to go round the houses to get to where you need to be 

I could see that was Monica's thinking too as a bit of background always helps.
