Hi Jane,
Thank you for your reply. I didn't think your Mum would have heard of Adam, he remains a mystery. I did find an Adam Storie born around the same time in Scotland leaving from Liverpool to New York in 1872, but don't know if it was him. He had a couple of brothers in Canada, but there is no trace of him. Another mystery I have was our Grt.Grt not sure how many grts. grandmother Helen Telfer who was born around 1823/24 at New Castleton married to a Thomas Storie. It shows on her death cert., that she was illegitimate and her mother was Barbara Beattie. I can't find a Birth cert., for her, of course they didn't need them then. I think my grandfather got called Sandy, & I had an uncle called Alexander but he was called Eck, & his son was called Sandy Storie. Then there was an Alexander in Canada born Jedurgh 1822. I have all Thomas & Isabella Deans family accounted for except that Adam & Margaret. Thomas 1792 & Isabella are buried at Jedburgh Abbey along with their son Thomas & Helen Telfer,& grandson George. The stone is very worn & can hardly be read now. That Thomas's father another Thomas 1750 & his wife Margaret Brunton, I can't find where they are buried I have Robert at top of tree but don't know any thing about him. Please Thank your Mother for the help she has given me. I had a look at the 1911 census on Scotland People and saw that Thomas & Isabella Graham had 3 wee girls since the last census. I wondered what had happened to them, now you have told me. Thank you. If there is anything I can help you with , let me know.
Best wishes Cathie.
