William John Campbell Adamson / Josephine Helme
« on: Thursday 25 March 21 07:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

Trying to get some basic info on

William John Campbell Adamson / Josephine Helme (Laird of Cairston / Stracathro)

They were married in 1947, had children in 1948 and 1949.

Main aim is to find out age of them when they were married in Lancaster in June 1947. As best I can tell 33 & 24?

Can anybody help?

Looks like William was born 13 March 1914. So about 33 when married.
The marriage certificate will confirm.
