I have a friend here in Holland called Allan Poot, who comes from S.A. He only knows that his grandmother, (possibly g-gr-mother) came from Ardrossan. He asked me if I could find anything for him.The details I gave were all that he had.
I will pass this on to him. Again, thanks a million. Allan will be very pleased. Up till now they had no background at all.

Hi Wayne and All
I am the G-Grandaughter of Robert Adams, my Gran being born on Glasgow Street in 1909.
I see your post is 2015, but if this thread is still live, does anyone have any more leads further back please?
Hi Jan,
