Children of Adam Robson and Mary Winifred Palmer

[BW252]

I have been researching the above Adam (Auld Ned) who was born in Hawick in 1866 and died in Jedburgh in 1929.    The 1911 census states that he has been married for 4 years where in fact he did not marry Mary until 1914.   Recent family letters indicate that he and Mary had a large family.   I can find 5, Annie 1909, Adam 1910, Catherine Mary 1912, William 1914 and Marjory 1923.   There are 4 more mentioned in the letters that I just cannot find:  Maureen, Helen, Jock (John?) and Robert.    Adam got about quite a bit - Hawick, Jedburgh, Glasgow with quite a range of jobs.   He also had other children prior to being with Mary.     Quite a philanderer I think.   I may have put this out on another query and if so I apologise.   Any help greatly appreciated.

from your info it would suggest that Mary was Adam's second wife - worth checking for a First by using the elder children's birth certificates or Adam or Mary lived as Common Law husband & Wife until the First World War broke out - Where getting Married would project the Family if anything happening to Adam
