Hi BW252,
The birth of Adam Robson is on SP dated 1866, born in Hawick, Roxburghshire, will cost £1.20 of the £6 credits that you need to purchase to download the certificate,
On Ancestry, he is on 1871 census with parents, John 39 and Margaret 35 at 21 Exchange St, Jedburgh, siblings Archibald 11, Margaret 9, Robert 7, and Janet 2, he was 4 at the time.
In the 1881 census at 3 Boundaries, Jedburgh he is a 14yo Millworker. No more children but mother's name shown as Martha and only 41yo, maybe Margaret died and this may be new wife.
In 1891 at 32 Victoria St, Galashiels he is 24yo Woollen Piercer with wife Marjory Hunter. He married in Gala 1890 and this can be downloaded for £1.20, also.
In the 1901 census, at 6 North St, Springburn, Glasgow, he is down as a 34 yo Rail Eng Maker, Iron Cutter Hydraulic. He has 2 children showing Janet 2 and Margaret 1, but no sign of wife. He seems to be sharing house with a 34 yo Elspeth Miller and her 3 children, Andrew 15, Mary 11 and Nellie 5. I can see no marriage for these 2.
Death of his wife, Margaret Hunter was in 1898 at Dennistoun at age of 31, which can also be downloaded. From post of alicook. On the 1901 census he has listed 2 children Janet 2 and Margaret 1, will have to prove their births on 1901 census.
On the NAS,
There is an entry,
Affiliation and aliment - female - 10 September 1914 between a Miss Margaret Turnbull and Adam Robson
Now Margaret Turnbull was his mother's name, co-incidence?
Tom
Changed original post to include death of his wife.
