My ancestors were Torbet sometimes spelt Terbitt and other variations from Scotland who came to Kildare in Ireland in 1851 and the name evolved eventually to Talbot. Following is a short history of Adam:
"born circa 1799 in St Cuthbert’s, Edinburgh. Adam moved from St Cuthbert’s to Corsterphine, Midlothian, Edinburgh after his marriage to Janet Allen (born circa 1800) on 16 Jun 1820 (per Scots Origins network and Parish Records).

That they are unmarried persons and not within the forbidden degrees of consanguinity and have resided in this Parish for the space of six weeks previous to the above date is certified by Robert Thomson, Elder
He then moved from Scotland to Ireland in 1851. Janet his wife died before 1865. He and his family were part of seventeen Presbyterian families from Perthshire in Scotland who arrived in Athy in 1851 to settle on local farms provided by the Duke of Leinster. The first Presbyterian church in Athy was opened in 1856.
Their known children were
Janet (born 4th Mar 1821), Robert (b. 1822 or 1826), William (1831), Adam (born 1832), John (1834), Marion (1836), all the children were born in Currie, Midlothian, Robert (he married Margaret Kent circa 15 Aug 1849 in Glenbawn) all confirmed from Parish Records. In 1841 the family were listed as Terbit and living at 51 Red Hugh's Cottages, Currie, Midlothian (Parish No - 682 ED 3 page 10), his occupation was Agricultural Labourer."
Anyone have any of the above on their tree?
