Mother's maiden name should show on his birth registration on the index here www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

YOu have exact details for what you are searching for so should be straightforward to find (I am not home at present so don't have my p/w etc). The index entry should include mother's maiden name.

Did you see my reply #7? This should at least help in trying to find Elizabeth's surname.

3rd Qrt 1844

Monica Thanks Monica, I already have that cert. from Nantwich but still no trace of his Father's Birth.

A search for Mark Adams on Scotland's People doesn't produce any results. Closest is a Mark Adam born in 1811 in Newton; parents are John and Margaret. There are plenty of William Adams, but not with the correct parents. I did find a William Adam whose father is Marke Adam but as he was born in 1627 he is obviously not correct.

The Parish Record of the Baptism actually says this, Monica:

James twin son of Mark and Elizabeth Adams. Abode is given as Nantwich Union Workhouse Nantwich from Glasgow.Father's occupation is given as writer.Baptism 8 Aug 1844 - twin called Charles.

MMN for James and Charles is given as Adams.

Does this indicate lookiing at Glasgow for Mark and William?

I should have said that Newton is an Edinburgh parish, although this doesn't rule out a subsequent move to Glasgow. By writer is this equivalent to the Scottish term, indicating that he was a lawyer?
