Where was Macadams Lane, Milton?

David, his parents and siblings immigrated to the United States and arrived in 1836 and were on the ship named Czar.

David, his parents and siblings immigrated to the United States and arrived in 1836 and were on the ship named Czar.

He married Margaret Douglas. He was born in 1818 in Roxburghshire and died in 1854 in Chester, IL United States. His parents are James Adam(s) 1780-1851 and Catherine Carlew.

In that case he cannot be the one in Dundee whose parents were David Adam and Catherine Scone/Skene, whose wife was Elizabeth Whamond, and who was still in Dundee in 1841, 1851 and 1861.

And James Adam in Macadam's Lane in Glasgow in 1841 cannot be his father if his father had emigrated five years earlier, in 1836.

Could you help me lookup where my David Adam(s) and James Adam(s) lived?

We could have if they had not emigrated in 1836. The earliest census that records individuals' names and personal details was in 1841, which is five years after that.

Or we could, if the record of your David's baptism had survived. There are three surviving records of baptisms to James Adam* and Carl*. There are also two records of the marriage of James Adam and C/Katherine Carl*, one in Neilston and one in Glasgow, which means that at the time of their marriage one of them living in Glasgow and the other in Neilston, Renfrewshire.

It's saying that he was living in Macadams Lane on 7 June 1841. Obviously, if your James Adam emigrated five years before that, in 1836, this cannot be him.
