Having just checked, the elderly gent passed away the following year in 1912 and there's a probable match within the deaths for his wife in 1921.

Can you search by street on the 1911 census?

Ignore that!!!!

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help?

I am trying to find out when the houses on Maiden Lane, Clubmoor (L13) were constructed, in particular, the run of houses between Finvoy Road and Knocklaid Road (OS E338100 N383205)

From available historic maps I have been able to narrow it down to sometime between 1905 and 1925, as the later map shows a significant increase in property development compared to the much more rural nature of the 1905 map, and features the block of houses in question.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you Rena,

I had actually forgotten about that site...been a bit inactive on the research front of late!

I suspect it is more likely to be No. 2, as in 'one who marks out land'.

1871 England Census (Cl: RG10; Pc: 3816; Fo: 39; Pg: 21; GSU roll: 841912)

Victoria , Netherfield Road North, Everton, Lancs

James Allen          Visitor       18    c 1853         Un      Police Man                   London, Middlesex
 
I then also have the following TWO marriages:
 
28 June 1868 St. Peter, Everton

Name                Age          Cond.  Rank/Prof        Res.                    Father               Father Prof
Robert McAdam (Aged 26)  Bach   Marine Stoker  41 Edinburgh St   James McAdam   Farm Lab
Christina Roberts (Aged 27)Wid                          18 Edinburgh St   Mathew Johnston  Stone Mason
 
15 Apr 1861, St. David, L'pool, Lancs
 
Name                    Age      Cond.       Rank/Prof     Res.        Father              Father Prof
John Roberts          Full      Bachelor   Fireman       L'pool  Robert Roberts      Porter
Christina Johnston Full        Spinster         -           L'pool  Mathew Johnston   Stone Mason
 
There are four apparent births/baptisms arising from this Roberts/Johnston marriage recorded in L'pool, with baptisms relating to children named John and Sarah that appear to be the same John and Sarah that are down as John and Sarah McAdam on the 1871 Census return headed by Robert McAdam.

There are also a few deaths recorded for John Roberts' within the L'pool area between 1861 and 1868.

Between 1868 and 1871 I have located a number of Crew Lists for Glasgow-registered ships that have a Robert McAdam, who is a Fireman, (DOB c. 1843), with place of birth stated as Wigton, Scotland, who sailed aboard the 'Russia' (Official No. 58132) and the signatures on each of these crew list agreement appears to be the same as the signature on the 1868 McAdam/Roberts marriage, leading me to believe it is the same man.
 
My research now switches to Scotland. Having searched the available Scottish vital records, there are two birth records for a Robert McAdam:

Date             Name                 Parents                                    Ref                     Reg               
06/06/1841  McAdam Robert   James McAdam/Marion Clement FR836 (FR836) M Ochiltree/Ayr

15/08/1842  McAdam Robert  James McAdam/Marion Clement  FR421 (FR421) M Penninghame/     Wigtown
 
Then there's a preceding marriage between a James McAdam and a Marion Clement as follows:

21/07/1835 James McAdam and Marion Clement /883 (FR883) M OCHILTREE /AYR
 
It would appear that the Robert born in Ochiltree in 1841 has died and a second son born the following year has been named after him. I have also located a couple of other likely baptisms of children born to  a James and Marion McAdam, but in different places, each one tying in with the following family, who appear here on the 1861 Scotland Census:

1861 Midkelton Dairy House, Kelton, Kirkcudbrightshire
 
Name                 Rel     Status    Gen   Age  Birth  Occ           Birth place

James McAdam    Head    M        M      50    1811  DairyMan, Carsphairn,Kirkcudbrightshire,           
Marion McAdam   Dau    Un        F      16    1845   Scholar    Wigtownshire, Scot
Anne Wilson McAdam         Dau  F       13    1848   do                  "              "
James Allan McAdam Son           M      11    1850   do           Borgue, Kirkcudbrightshire
John McAdam           Son            M       8    1853   do           Kirkcudbright,    "
Nicholas McAdam Dau                 F       5    1856   do            Kelton,              "
George M McAdam Son               M       3    1858 Dairyman's Son Kelton,        "
Martha Wilson      Serv     Un       F      18   1843 Dairy Maid  Kirkmaiden, Wigtownshire

And that's it thus far!
