Jemima Barrie Adam age 16 arrived 26 Sept 1923 New York on the SS California - Father is James Adam of 576 Old Dumbarton, Glasgow.
She is going to her sister Miss Jessie Adams at 15 James St Montclair.

Travelling with her is Nancy Bell age 22 - Father is George Bell of 26 Kirksyde Ave, Kirkintilloch.
She is going to her cousin Miss Jessie Adams at 15 James St Montclair.

I don't have any other information on the Adam girls or the rest of their family.

All above information is from the immigration record on Ancestry.com

Nancy Bell married 1925 in New York as Agnes Bell to John Drummond McGlashan.
They lived and died in Ohio.

Probable birth for Jemima can be found on Scotland's People

Adam Jemima Dufton B 1908 Govan RD 646/2 556

1911 census for her can also be found on SP in Govan

Suspect this is 1901 census for family

11 Moss Road Govan

Jeannie Adam Mar 34 b Forgue Aberdeenshire
Jeannie Y D Adam 3 b Govan
Janet R G Adam 2 b Govan ( This is probably Jessie)

Note that father James does not seem to be at home for either the 1901 or 1911 census.


Probable birth for Nancy as Agnes on SP

Bell Agnes 1900 Kirkintilloch RD 496/243

I suspect that she is recorded in Kirkintilloch on the 1901 census as Agnes age 0

George Bell 33 b Ayrshire pitheadman
Mary Bell 33 b Ireland
Siblings Mary, George, Jeannie and John.

Thanks Trish, I will have a look

Thanks William, Agnes Bell is likely the daughter of George Bell and Mary Dorans.
I thought I had either purchased her Birth or made notes when I was at Edinburgh Center in 2016, however checking my notes I don't seem to have done so.
I did for some of her siblings.

There also appear to be passenger lists for Jessie Adam. ( Showing in Ellis Island as Jessie Russell Adam). It seems she emigrated earlier in 1923( arrival 7 May). Arrival port relation is named as an aunt, Mrs Annie Miller.
