Hi,
Has anyone any info of Adam Torbet/Turbett born c. 1799 in Edinburgh. He moved to Kildare in Ireland and died there in 1877. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Rory

Hi Rory
I can't find anything on Adam but this might well be his elder sister or a relative:
Baptism - Corstorphine, Edinburgh
16 August 1795 Agnes Torbet. Parents - James Torbet and Agnes Fyffe
I'll do some checks on them

I have also found an Adam Torbet and Helen Denholm having children in the same parish around the same time.
Do you have the names in date order of Adam's children?

I'm not sure when he might have gone to Ireland or his occupation but this is a possible family in 1841. It is in Currie which is just to the south of Edinburgh-Corstorphine
51 Red Hugh's Cottages, Currie, Midlothian
Parish No - 682 ED 3 page 10
Adam Terbit, 40-44, Ag lab, b. Midlothian
Janet, 40-44, b. Scotland
Robert, 15-19, Ag lab
William, 10
Adam, 8
John, 7
Marion, 5
All children b. Midlothian
Gadget
Added - can find a death post-1855 for him in Scotland so he either died before or could be your Adam

Gadget,
Thats him, great news for me. I had some of the kids but nor all. So I now know he moved to Ireland between 1841 and 1856. Any other info you could get would be great. Thanks a lot.
I have his records from then to the present day if they are of any interest to you. The misspelling of the name Torbet, Torbit, Turbett, and eventually Talbot (which is my name) seemed to carry on throughout his life!!!
Thanks again
Rory

Hi Rory
That is good news- I'll check out the 1851 to see if he's still around.

Adam Torbet, 50, cow feeder, b. Corstorphine
Janet, 50, b. Swinton, Fife
Adam 16, carter, b. Corstorphine
John, 16, Mason - apprentice, b. Corstorphine
Marion, 14, b. Corstorphine

Looking at the children's names, it looks like his father might have been a Robert.
There seem to be three Roberts ( or maybe one with different wives  ):
Robert Torbet and Mary Furgus()on - Edinburgh Parish
Robert Torbet and Isobella Blackie - St Cuthberts
Robert Torbet and Elizabeth Baxter - Corstorphine
As he was b. Corstorphine, I'd opt for that one. They did have a daughter Marron (?Marion) bpt, Corstorphine in 1794 and Isobel in 1792.
I still don't see Adam although I've used wildcards

I agree with you on that, although it is possible he was married twice.
Thanks again for the help

Sorry my last posting was made before your last two (i.e aft the info on the possible Roberts).
Thanks for the info I'll have to try to tidy up all of the info with what I already have, but it is really great, thanks for taking the time and effort on this.
Rory

Gadget,
Do you have access to later Census (1861?) to see if Adam is still living in Scotland.

Hi Rory
I don't see any sign of Adam or Janet on the 1861. Must have gone to Ireland by then.
