Adam Corrie (pig/ peat dealer) marries Mary Burns- they have daughter, Mary in 1819.

The theory is that daughter Mary has illegitimate son, Adam, who lives with her father as his son (but we know from death cert that it is his grandson).

The same Adam (pig/ peat dealer) marries Isabella Briggs in 1848. He dies in 1867- Adam, grandson is present at death.

Adam's daughter Mary goes on to marry James Wells- and has children James and Mary, and dies in 1883- parents listed as Adam Currie, pig dealer, and Mary (maiden surname Burns). Mary's daughter, Mary Currie is present at death.

Mary's daughter, Mary Wells, marries William Currie in 1874. William is the son of Adam Currie (farmer), and Isabella Grierson
