I'm trying to trace what happened to John Adam Ross. His granddaughter is still alive at 93 and is trying to find out. John Adam Ross was born and baptised October 4 1847 in Aberdeen Scotland. (His parents were William Ross and Jane Marr). John Adam Ross married Elsie Mckenzie on 21 August 1972 in the District of St Nicholas in the borough of Aberdeen.
In the 1891 census John Adam Ross is mentioned as living in Aberdeen at 59 ??? Grove in the civil parish of Old Machar in the quasad sacra parish of Holburn Aberdeen. Occupation Accountant.
His wife Elsie and his 6 children are mentioned. The elder son with the same name ie John Adam Ross aged 18 a law apprentice and is someone we are also trying to trace.
John Adam Ross senior is believed to have gone to the USA and was going to send for the family, but apparently died as his wife Elsie pops up in the 1901 census in Newcastle on Tyne as a widow. Also we don’t know what happened to Arthur Ross (12 in 1891 census) possibly went to Australia post 1918.
We can’t find death certificates for any of the above.
The reason we are keen to trace them is that John Adam Ross’s granddaughter is still alive aged 93 and would like to find out what happened to them all. Her maiden name is Elsie Mary Williamson born 1915 in Cardiff UK
Any ideas or help would be welcome.
