William (1821-1902) had at least one son, Adam, although my notes indicate he was born in 1848. With his first wife, Mary Ancrum (B. 7/10/1848, **** d. 11/30/1874), ***** he had a daughter, Mary Henrietta Ancrum Dumbreck. Mary Ancrum died giving birth. Adam then married Jeanie Morton Mackie (B. 1855, d. 1921). They were married on 6/29/1877. They had three children:
William Dumbreck b.1878, d. 1895
Adam Dumbreck Jr. b. 1879
Marion Walker Dumbreck b. 4/30/1880, d. 10/06/1959.
Marion married Alfred Cross in Glasgow on 12/12/1901, and came to Dover, New Jersey, USA in 1905. Mary Henrietta Dumbreck also came to Dover a bit later. She never married, and is buried in Morristown, New Jersey.
I hope that we might be able to prove William's connection someday. As for Adam's relatives in North America, I am in communication with them all and would be happy to offer any assistance.
Thanks for the great site.

****** Info from Aileen Crosbie (6 Feb 2001)
.........to point out just a very small inaccuracy. It possibly doesn't make much difference to anyone all this time later but Mary Ancrum died 26/12/1874 and her child was born on 30/11/1874 so it would have been a somewhat extended childbirth if she died during it. On the death certificate it states that she died of rheumatic fever. That often damaged the heart valves causing the heart to be severely weakened and so childbirth would have been a dangerous time for her and no doubt it was a contributing factor so it is not really wrong but it isn't quite right. She didn't actually die in childbirth but maybe as a result of childbirth. I know how you like everything just right!
