I suspect our Adam (born 1882) went to Canada- he travels to and fro quite a bit. This passenger list has a DOB:

First name(s) Adam
Last name Blacklock
Gender Male
Birth 29-06- 1882
Occupation FARMER
Departure year 1955
Departure day 20
Departure month 4
Departure port Glasgow
Destination port Montreal
Destination MONTREAL
Country Canada
Destination country Canada
UK address: Eastriggs, Dumfriesshire
Ship name Captain Cook
Ship master's first name A
Ship master's last name BANKIER
City GLASGOW
Ship destination port MONTREAL
Ship destination country CANADA

There's probably more on Ancestry worldwide that might confirm- but I don't have sub for that.

There seems to be a lot of confusion over the parents- the Adam Blacklock on that 1901 was born c1883 and isn't the 1876 birth (with mother Elizabeth Vivers).

This is 'our' Blacklock family in 1891:

Seems to be an assortment between 'Stock and Lock' in 'Search All Member Trees'...

Looking around on google search, Adam Blacklock/Elizabeth Vivers for Parents of 1876.

2 John Fallon's born 1903 in Scotland.

However if he was born Fallon then parents not married at the time OR are you saying that John Fallon are his Christian names and he was John Fallon Blackstock??

EDIT - see later - surname would seem to be BLACKLOCK not Blackstock

FALLON
JOHN
M
1903
570/ 119
Lochwinnoch (this is Renfrewshire)

----------------------------------------
FALLON
JOHN
M
1903
820/ 35

EDIT - second one looks more likely given 1901 census address
