Where was Macadams Lane, Milton?

[scatterjames]

Thanks to all, my great grandmother was born in 8 MacAdams Lane in Milton, Glasgow.

Using information from a few sources, MacAdam's / McAdam's Lane is now called Manresa Place. This is nearer the city centre than where Milton is now (when you search for 'Milton Glasgow' on Google).

I've attached an Ordnance Survey map from 1892 that shows exactly where McAdams Lane was located. It's in the middle-left of the image.

What exactly do you want to look up?

scatterjames posted a link above to a map showing where it is under a new name.

Where did you get that snippet of information and what year does it refer to?

I got the Information from Ancestry.

Hi Ian. My great grandmother was Mary Jane Mullany and she was born there in 1880. I'm guessing she might have moved on from that address by 1898.

Oh dear, oh dear.

Each historic ecclesiastical parish in Scotland has been given a number by the archivists, and 644 is assigned to Glasgow. It has numerous subdivisions, of which 644/1 is one. However the subdivision boundaries were not always the same over time.

Really, without an idea of the date of that listing (I won't use the word 'record' because it is only an index entry) it's impossible to point you at the right original record.

Presumably you must have come across it while looking for a person?

I suggest that you search the records at www.scotlandspeople for the person you are interested in, and in the meantime forget about Ancestry.

I attached a picture of the two people's addresses I'm looking for.

Here's the Picture of David Adam(s) wife and children. I don't have a picture of James Adam(s) his father. David is my 3rd Great Grandfather and James is my 4th Great Grandfather.
