Greetings,

I saw that there is a book complied by Joseph Anderson for the Vital records of Kittery. Is there anyone that has access to this book that could do a couple look ups for me?

I'm looking for the records of:

*Birth Record for Effie Adams, May 22 1871
*Marriage Record for Florence McDonald and William Adams (abt 1870)
*Death record for William Adams, between 1870 and 1877.
*Birth record for James Lowrie, son of James Lowrie and Florence McDonald - born 2 Dec 1877.

Thank you for any help.

Hello,

I took a look at the Kittery VR book, and none of these names were found.

Sorry!
Steve

Thanks both of you, I appreciate it.

Yes, the military information for James Robert is correct. I tracked him and his career and found the veteran's home where he died.

The birth record for any of Florence's children (Effie to William Adams, and three boys to James Lowrie) still elude me. And the marriage records for both marriages as well.

NH's vital records for this time are incomplete; I think my only hope may be a lucky find of church records. Florence's second husband James Lowrie I can track to when he came over from Scotland. William Adams is a ghost for me. All I know is his name from his daughters marriage license. He died sometime between 1870 and 1877, when his wife is definitely remarried and William likely married Florence sometime around 1870/1869, probably in New Hampshire.
