Irish twins are siblings born less than a year apart. I don't know what "irish cousins" are.

I am looking at a marriage record for William Buchanan and Annie Henderson in 1893. In the second column which is titled "Rank or Profession, Whether Single or Widowed, and Relationship if any", it shows that William was a bachelor and a draper, and Annie was a spinster. Immediately under the entry "Spinster" for Annie it appears to say "Cousins - German". Would anyone know what this means? In the column for the parents, under Annie it shows that her father was George Henderson and her mother was Annie Henderson, M.S. Buchanan. It would appear that they are somehow related but I have never heard the expression German cousins before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dave, It just means that they were first cousins. The first time I saw that term was on my grandfather's birth certificate - the informant was a cousin, German. For quite a while I thought he had relatives living in Germany ! :-) Regards, Win MacKenzie Dave Carney wrote: >I am looking at a marriage record for William Buchanan and Annie Henderson >in 1893.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WeC.2ACI/979.1.1.2 Message Board Post: The James and Mary Biggins you refer to are my great grandparents. When they first came to Scotland they stayed in the east end of Glasgow before moving to Millar Street in Clydebank. My grandfather was Thomas (born 1900) and as far as I know he was a young adult at the time of the move when he went to work in John Brown's shipyard. His brother Patrick (Paddy) remained in the Bridgton area of Glasgow with his own family (I think). My father was James Biggins and he had sporadic contact with his east end cousins until his death in 1992 aged just 68. My great aunt the lovely Nancy Biggins, who was married to John Biggins, died last year aged 97 the last of her generation. I have James and Mary's marriage cert, they were married at St Mary's RC Church Pollokshaws in 1891 as well as Mary's birth cert from 1866. I have great photo of them as a young couple holding Paddy. The radio broadcast that was referred to came from my uncle Benny's house in 1971!! Benny, Tommy (dece! ased) and Patrick (deceased) are my father's brothers.

I've had a problem with being absolutely certain that a marriage in England and Wales was between two people, one of them at least were born in Scotland. I see that the Certificate you have has given you information. Did you find him in Kirkintilloch? Can you share with us how easy it was to establish you information.

Hello List, Is there anyone on this list that knows what happened to Agnes Robertson born January 3, 1861 and her sister Jane Robertson born June 15, 1865. Both of them were born in Dennystown, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. They were the daughters of William Robertson and Jessie Campbell. Both William Robertson and Jessie Robertson nee Campbell had died by 1868. William died between 1865 and 1868 and Jessie died on March 8, 1868 at 97, High Street, Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. William Robertson probably died at the same address. Thank you in advance for any information I might receive. Kind Regards Pamela J Groves

Hi, I too am researching the McAdam family line. The McAdam's moved around a lot as most have some connection to John Loudon McAdam of TARMAC fame. John Loudon McAdam came to NY before 1776 and is related to Crawford's via his father's line. John came to work with his uncle William in New York and he was married in 1776 at Old Trinity Church, Wall Street, New York. There are also other McAdam's buried at this church. I would check out the mcadam history society website for a lot more information. (Note - not all of is accurate or complete). The family home must have been either the Waterhead or Craigillan estates. I too am trying to complete my link to this line. My 4th great grandfather is William W. McAdam married to Isabella Russell and my 5th great grandfather is James McAdam and Margert Allason of Ayr. Have you tried Ayrshire or Wigtownshire for McAdam's??? I would love to share my research with you as I have a ton of McAdam's.

Surnames: McAdam/Crafourd Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WeC.2ACI/1342 Message Board Post: Good morning. I'm new to the list and the search in Scotland. I'm a decendant of Andrew and Ann McAdam who are buried in the Roseneath Old Church yard. Their stone reads: In Memory of Andrew McAdam late in Cursenogh who died May 17 1789 aged 77 years also Ann Crafourd his spouse who died May 18, 1807-they are plot #152. >From information I have Andrew and Ann had 11 children, their son Andrew came to the New York in 1781 on a ship he and Andrew Sr's brother James called "The Dalosa". The brother left in Scotland Duncan McAdams is my link to this family-he had a twin brother Dugald. Other siblings are Janet- the oldest, William (who came to NY with Andrew Jr.) John, James, George, Robert, Grace and Patrick (the youngest). I believe John also came to NY with Andrew jr. I am trying to find traces of Duncan. He eventually came to NY was married 3 times and had 21 children! The question most foward on our minds is is this Duncan our GG-grandfather or did he have a son Duncan? The dates for Duncan son of Andrew and Ann would make him too old for the Duncan here in NY-who's birth we are guessing to be around 1800. In the book being written the Duncan who is son of Andrew and Ann was old enough to help with responsibilites with the running of the family business when his brothers left for NY in 1781. My other question is the Crafourd family. In the book it's spelled Crawford, having seen the picture of the headstone the mis-spelling is why we can't find anything. Does anyone know of this family? My Aunt remembers her mother telling her of a solicitor from Scotland coming to see her father and telling him he needed to come home and claim his lands (apparently a large home and property) he refused to leave NY and let it go to who ever was next. Would there be records of such matters still around. Here in NY we're subject to the clerk of the time and how good of a record keeper he was-which often was good at all! I'd like to find out where and what the house looked like to add to the history album. Any help would be greatly appreciated, research from across an ocean is a bit challenging! Thank you.....

Hi Pamela I found this Jane and Agnes in the 1881 census,Jane looks promising because of the Campbell name,not so sure about Agnes. However, don't dismiss them because of the ages,many times I've found them to be wrong.
