Hi Ben Going on the age of the eldest child, I have searched 1854 - 1857 and there is no sign of a marriage although a couple of the pages are unreadable so it could have been missed. Sam

Hi Ben I've tried every (free) website I can think of for the marriage with no joy. I have a few credits left on 1837 so hang on 5 mins and I'll have a look. Sam

Hi Ben The birth is on the IGI. I have checked Ancestry and can't find a marriage or death for him. Sorry. Sam

Not ancestry as I am not subscribed, but FreeBMD and Familysearch (IGI) I have. Thanks. Ben.

Has anyone got ANY information on a Michael McAdam from Whitehaven Cumberland and he was born in 1835. Any birth/marriage/death details would be much appreciated, I know he married an Elizabeth Sutherland who is also from W'haven in Cumberland but I don't know when and where. Also I have had an inkling that he has died in 1910 so anyone who could confirm i would be eternally grateful too. Regards, Ben.
