Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Where did Ann Eagan Live?

Thank you!  That is very helpful.

The Egans I'm after went to New Zealand in 1863 but the ones at No.6 might be related.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Where did Ann Eagan Live?

Hello

Can anyone work out the address of the bride on this snippet of certificate please?  I can see that the groom lived in Foundry Street but can't quite make out the bride's address.
Thank you.

The DNA test is done and we're waiting for the results.

Thank you for all your help everyone.  :)

Thanks for all the great assistance so far.

What I now know for certain.

Adam MacDonald married Elizabeth Glendinning in Edinburgh in 1903.  IN 1912 they separated and in 1918 they divorced.

What did it say for number of children and years married in the 1911?

Wills are online on SP to 1925, after that and before 1993 it's

Neither site seems to have wills after 1925.

I found the reporting of the divorce in the newspaper archive on Find My Past.  There was also an addition information note on the marriage on Scotland's People.

I think I found Adam and Elizabeth in 1911.  He's listed as a Dancing Teacher but that was Elizabeth's father's occupation so I suppose it's possible that he was doing it.  The address is Regent Street Edinburgh.  It's not the address given on the divorce papers though so it might not be them.

The informant on Adam's death certificate was Helen.  How would I find a will if there was one?

Adam MacDonald married Elizabeth Glendinning in Edinburgh in 1903.  IN 1912 they separated and in 1918 they divorced.

A few weeks later, he married Lilias Turnbull in Edinburgh. In 1921 they had a daughter Helen.
In 1921 Lilias died.

In 1922 Adam married (Evelyn) Doris Murton.  In 1934 Doris died.

In 1942 Adam died.

Short of buying a look at every birth in the pertinent years, what's the best ay to find any other births of Adam MacDonald and his wives?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Adam died in 1942 having married again in the meantime.  Helen was the informant.  He was still living at Meadowbank Terrace.  His second wife had also died, I'm not sure when but she was 15 years younger than him so there might have been children.

I can see me using a lot of credits on this one. ;D

I don't think so.  I'm new to this tree and as far as I can tell, Adam is the only name that I've seen more than once.  Adam's grandfather was also Adam and Helen's son has Adam as a middle name.  I can't see any Adam's listed.

My Edinburgh geography isn't great either.  I tried looking for Adam MacDonald's in the voter lists for the 1940s and 50s when any children would be adults but my geography is letting me down.

Helen came to England as a teenager and the person I'm doing the tree for can't tell me anything except Helen's name and date and place of birth.
