Hello,

Would you have some information about the marriage of Hugh Adrain to Hadessah/Hadassah and/or information about the parents of Hugh Adrain. I belive that the mother was a Margaret Wasson and Hughs father was also Hugh.
Thanks,
Colin

Hi Cheryl,

I am Bill Doolin who spent a few days In the Westport area in July 2007 looking for my long lost relatives.Unfortunately, I don't pick up on the Adrain name until I get back home in Southwest Oklahoma. Johanna Tobin married David Adrain in 1876 at Delta in the County of Leeds.Johanna is the sister to my great grandmother,Alice Tobin.David was the son of Samuel Adrain and Lydia Kimberly.

Philip Tobin and his brother Patrick came to this area from County Wexford Ireland in 1848.They both married local girls and had 11 and 13 children respectively.The next generation was even more prolific.A cousin,Jim Duff, from Sandy Oregon and I from Lawton,Oklahoma have now completed the next generation with the find of Johanna in the Forfar area with current estimates being in the range of 1500 descendents.

I want your help in going forth with the children and descendants of David and Johanna.What do you Know? and better yet does the Forfar cemetery hold many of the answers?

I will send you the family tree so far if you desire! Do you know Gwen and Vince Tobin in Westport? They were absolutely the best hosts this summer.

Sincerely,

Bill Doolin

cadrain1 — 2006-08-11 22:33:14Z

Hello, I'm looking for information on my branch of the Adrain family (may be registered as Adrain, Drain, O'Drain, Adrian). My great-grandfather Hugh Adrain (who married Hadessa Church from Co. Derry and subsequently moved to Omagh, Co. Tyrone) was born born ca. 1876-1885.

His siblings were called Alexander, Stewart (Stuart?) and Annabella (?). I think the family would have been established in Ballymena-possibly near Ballyloughan, in Co. Antrim. Annabella Adrain married unknown Wright and one of their children was William (Willie) Wright, also of Ballyloughan.

The father of Hugh/Alexander/Stewart and Annabella Adrain emigrated to USA (likely pittsburgh pennsylvania) to join family there, but died shortly after arrival. The mother of Hugh/Alexander/Stewart and Annabella Adrain then subsequently moved her family to Belfast, where I believe she and two of her sons established a Tailors shop.

I would like to trace the names of the parents of the four Adrain siblings, or indeed, any other information on their descendants.

katsfan441 — 2005-08-25 15:50:34Z

Sorry Cheryl, but I have no other information to offer. All I know about Robert Adrain's family, is that his mother and father were born in Canada, and that Robert was born in Minnesota, according to census records. A search for Adrain/Adrian in Minnesota census records turned up nothing on a Robert, nor any Adrain's born in Canada.

2005-08-25 07:02:21Z

hi I was going through old postings and found this one of yours on Robert Adrain. If you don't mind could you share with me the names ect of this family back as far as you can. A few of the Adrains from ontario and other provinces went to the USA years ago.
One of our family line a james churchill adrains family changed the spelling of Adrain to Adrian around 1900. James Adrain born 1837 to Samuel (born 1810 in Ireland son of Hugh sr. and Elizabeth (no last name)and Lydia Kimberly settled in Orford county near chatham ont. Then in 1914 James being an old man came back to Leeds county ontario,town of Forfar and was killed while drawing a load of hay by horse. I believe a brother of his Horce went to the states some place also.
I also believe that very early on a James Adrain came from Ireland or Scotland and settled in the USA. and that is how the name got built up in the usa.

John Adrain

mms8446 — 2005-08-06 18:52:07Z

John Adrain was born around 1900. He left Belfast in 1929 to go to Saskatoon to work on a farm. This was six months after I was born. Some years ago a person tried to contact my sister regarding my father, so we suspect we have relatives. Can anyone help us to find out what happened to my father.

Hi Muriel Robstad have picture of stoneRe: Annie Myrtle Baker Adrain/Adrian brother JAMES

Hi Muriel
You don't know me but my name is Cheryl Adrain from Westport,Ontario,(North Crosby/Rideau Lakes twps)
Gordon Adrain from Renfrew ontario an I have been working on the family tree now for a number of years.

We both have pictures of the just hand made stone for Jennie O'Drain or Jennie O'Drin and Charles Cooper
If you have anything to add to the family tree of Adrain,Adrian,O'Drain,Drain,Adreane that would be great.
I am still searching for a year an date that the Children of Hugh Adrain born abt. 1785 married to Elizabeth b. 1784 in Ireland. And also a ship that they come over on.

I have been told by a relative of Samuel born 1810 an Lydia Kimberly b. 1818 ...their first son James born 1837 in Bastard an Burgess twp,leeds county,ontario who married Lois Chant of Bastard township, County of Leeds, Ont.
Anyways done this line there is a Ralph Adrain (surname was changed in the early 1900's) that Samuel born 1810 come to USA first ..there was family there. (the state of PA some place )Then come to Ontario.
In Cumbermere Ontario where the log cabin of David Adrain the vetrenarian lived,on the wall of the cabin says:
Sam kisses Mary
David kisses Lydia
which ended up that Sam or Samuel Adrain born 1810 married Lydia
an his brother above
David marries Mary Godfrey
can you add anything to any of this...if so i thank you in advance!

I am married to the son of an Adrain from Northern Ireland and my husbands uncle- lives in the farm that you mention. I am trying to trace the family for my husbands mother - her father was Robert and his father was Robert too- we think he went to Australia. Do you have any information that would assist.

Re: Arden Adrain dies also sister Mary Bernice Harrison

2004-01-02 20:36:25Z

In answer to the question on the origin of the name it is Irish. The name is first recorded in the Annals of Connacht for 1246 when the family were defeated by the coalition of the Normans and the Mac Dermots (Mac Diarmaida). They were hereditary custodians of the monastery at Boyle. Co. Roscommon. The name was originally Ua Dreáin and I believe the name is also Ua Direáin. It was originally a christian name in keeping with most Irish names The Ua is the same as Ó today and the name has been corrupted by loss of vowels. The same thing happened in the case of many other names e.g. Ua (Ó) Gníomh = Agnew. The root of the name might be from Draoi + éan i.e druid bird = wren. I have never encountered anyone of the name who didi not ultimatel come from Ireland. If you have an example let me know. It is not the same as Adrian although some Adrains have changed the spelling to that. It was always claimed in my family that it is Ó Direáin or Ó Dreáin in Irish. I am the last Irish speaker in my branch of the family. The name in its various forms i.e. Adreane, O'Drain, Adrain etc. was mainly found in the coastal districts of Conamara or in Antrim e.g. Aonraí (Henry) an Dónall Ó Dreáine are found in the old Carrickfergus records for the period 1550-1590. The name is also found in Antrim in the hearth Money Rolls of 1669. I hope this brief summary helps,
Stiofán Ó Direáin

Robert J. Adrain, born in Minnesota, lived and died in Montana

katsfan44 — 2003-11-06 15:24:01Z

Looking for any information on a Robert J. Adrain. I first found mention of him in the Montana Genweb site, where he is listed as being granted homestead land in McCone County, Montana, 320 acres, in August 1913. I then found him and his family on the 1920 and 1930 census for McCone County Montana, School District 7, along with his wife Minnie (Motley) and their four children James, Mildred, Lloyd, and Bulah. Both censuses show him to have been born in Minnesota, with parents being born in Canada. Minnie, his wife, was from Virginia and is a distant cousin of mine. I found a Robert Adrain on the Soc.Security Death Index who died in 1982, apparently at age 100, last address McCone County Montana. I also find a Minnie Adrain, birthdate is correct at 12/25/1886, also died in 1982, but living in Ravalli county Montana. Any information on this family is much appreciated.
