Aberdeen - Adams - Birth record look up

[Rosinish]

I was also thinking that she might just be "Emily", and took on a new first name when she set sail to start a new life, but I can't find an Emily that works either! 

Or...was she illegitimate or adopted either being possible?

How coincidental is this...

The name variants used on the above were taken from...

"FreeCEN 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire"

When George was born, Sylvinia states her age as being 20.

No, unfortunately Sylvinia's marriage certificate does not state whether her parents are still living.
I have visited the archives in Brisbane, but they did not have the individual passenger manifests, which sometimes lists the parents names and whether they are still living or not.  The archives told me that these records no longer exist, only the general shipping record for the Royal Dane.

The Royal Dane sailed from London, England in 1870.

The only couple I have been able to come up with, who married around the same time frame that Sylvinia was born, was a James McAdam and a Janet McLean who married on 7 April 1850, Barony, Lanark, Scotland.

The Dodds also named one of their daughters Sylvia, in honor of Sylvinia.  The name (Sylvia) has been used in our family, starting with Sylvinia.

Yes, I have wondered about the name, as I am aware that it means from the forest and is of European origin.

Yes, Sylvinia could possibly be adopted or illegitimate.  Hmmm, I wonder?

Can you please list all the information on the death certificate for Sylvinia Emily CARLTON, died 1896.  Everything on the document please. Do not leave out any details.

Can you please list all the information on the death certificate for George ADAMS, died 1875.

The birth certificate for George ADAMS, 1874, would be useful to your research. You need to see this certificate.

BDM NSW birth
3798/1877 CARLTON  Agnes M  parents  John J / Sylvinia E   @ Balmain  (4 Nov 1877)

Why are Sylvia and James in Sydney in 1877?. This birth certificate would be useful to your research. Agnes would likely be born at a residential address, which could lead to relatives.

None of the current documents I have give any further clues as to whether or not Sylvinia was or was not born in Aberdeen, Scotland.  There are other documents that I will order in the hope that I will glean more vital information from them.

Thank you, everyone for your input.  My search continues.

COMPLETE

Thank you.

You need to download the birth certificate, however, there's a minimum, minimal cost via purchase of credits.

The BC will give you the address James Walker Adams was born, names of both parents including mother's maiden surname (possibly Walker) & the date/place they were married.

All this info. for £7.50 leaving you credits for the next stage...the MC of his parents & still some credits left!
