Death Look Up
« on: Monday 08 February 21 19:48 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help with finding a death for Thomas Crawford McAdam born on 15th August 1874 in Johnstone, Renfrew-shire??  His parents were William McAdam and Marion Muirhead.
He was married to Mary Harvie Morrison on 26th September 1902 and had 1 son called William Crawford McAdam born on 12th November 1902 in Glasgow.  Mary died the following year on 4th February 1903 in Glasgow.
I can't find any trace of him after 1903 but he died between 1903 and 1924 as his son's Marriage certificate in 1924 shows him as Deceased
Thomas's occupation was a blacksmith

I have his Birth certificate and it's registered under Thomas Crawford McAdam born at 23 Church Street, Johnstone,  Birth registered by his mother Marion McAdam (Muirhead)
It's his death I'm looking for

Sorry, Don....that is the death you had posted!

Tazzy, have you been able to find William in the 1911 census?

Thomas father would have still been young when his wife Mary died in 1903. Wonder if he remarried?

There are a number of Service Returns to consider.  He may have knocked 5 years off his age.

Mary died in Hutchesontown area of Glasgow, what was the home address?

There's this William McAdam 8 (age fits) on the 1911 census with no other McAdam in the household, suggesting he was living with/possibly being brought up with someone else & may be worth looking at as it's only a stones throw from Hutchesontown where Mary died.

MCADAM WILLIAM 8
644/16 37/ 12 Govanhill, Lanark

The death of a Thomas in 1922 in Milton suggested by Don & Monica is close-by in proximity & close on age & worth considering.

Son William was married in Hillhead area of Glasgow, what was his address?

All the above areas mentioned are close to each other in terms.

Annie
South Uist, Inverness-shire, Scotland:- Bowie, Campbell, Cumming, Currie

Ireland:- Cullen, Flannigan (Derry), Donahoe/Donaghue (variants) (Cork), McCrate (Tipperary), Mellon, Tol(l)and (Donegal & Tyrone)

Newcastle-on-Tyne/Durham (Northumberland):- Harrison, Jude, Kemp, Lunn, Mellon, Robson, Stirling

Kettering, Northampton:- MacKinnon

Canada:- Callaghan, Cumming, MacPhee

I've already checked the 1922 death but it's not my Thomas.
Already checked the census.
I'll check out the service returns again
