Help please Can anyone suggest how I find my GG Grandfather George Adamson. I have his 1851 census entry in Rochdale as born in Scotland but I havent a clue where. There are Adamsons all over the place in Scotland. I would expect it to be Dumfrieshire or Kirkcudbright from other family connections but thats as close as I can guess. Any ideas. Do I need a parish register in Rochdale to find his marriage record with Ann Holden (whos name I've got from the birth certificate of one of the children - not my G Grandmother Jannet Bells as she was born too early !). Where do I get hold of such a register without getting up to Rochdale which is not possible at the moment. The children were christened, and Jannet Bell was married at Providence Chapel High Street Rochdale Lancs so I suppose this marriage could have been there as well ? Any help much appreciated Regard Joy Descendants of George ADAMSON 1 George ADAMSON b: Abt. 1806 in Scotland - according to 1851 census d: Bet. 1855 - 1861 in Rochdale - according to 1851 census -see notes for 1881 census entry / Slaters 1855 directory . +Ann HOLDEN b: 1808 in Rochdale, Lancashire, England d: Bet. 1861 - 1881 in In Rochdale Slaters directory1861 but cant find her on 1881 census ..... 2 Robert Adamson b: 1830 in Rochdale Lancashire ......... +Elizabeth b: 1828 ..... 2 Edmund Adamson b: 1831 in Rochdale Lancashire ..... 2 George Bell Adamson b: 1834 in Rochdale Lancashire d: Bef. 1850 in Assumed as not on 1851 census with parents and there is a younger George ..... 2 Jannet Bell ADAMSON b: 1836 in Rochdale Lancs d: Bef. 1889 ......... +George MILLER b: 24/11/1827 in Balmaghie, Kirkudbright, Scotland d: 15/10/1902 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire m: 01/06/1854 in Providence Chapel High Street Rochdale Lancs ..... 2 Elizabeth Adamson b: 07/11/1837 in Rochdale ......... +spouse m: 1871 in Rochdale ..... 2 Sarah Ann Adamson b: 1840 in Rochdale ..... 2 James Bell Adamson b: 1845 in Rochdale Lancashire ......... +Jane Leach b: 1845 in Littleborough Rochdale Lancs m: 09/1870 in Rochdale Lancs ..... 2 John Adamson b: 1848 in Rochdale - according to 1851 census d: 26/02/1929 in Buried Gretna Rigg Cemetery / burial record Gretna Registry Office ......... +Elizabeth b: 1851 in Rochdale d: 15/01/1932 in Buried Gretna Rigg Cemetery m: 1871 in Rochdale ..... 2 George Bell Adamson b: 1850 in Rochdale, Lancashire, England
