| ADLAM name is Saxon meaning "noble helmet" or "noble protector". The Adlam motto is "Time Proveth Truth" One Origin of the Surname (Saxon Locality) From adel, meaning fine, or noble, and ham, a village or castle. Adelham, contracted to become Adlam. See blow in Link section for origin of Name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ November, 2008 - Added a new link for DNA testing (see below). The ADLAM Surname DNA Project was established in August of 2008. This project is open to all Adlam's worldwide. Oct 19, 2008 - Added in descendents of Martha Elizabeth Jane (Bessie) Adlam (b. November 06, 1914) and Lowell George Johnston (b. July 06, 1911). July 31, 2008 - Added minor details about some of the Winslows. Nov 13, 2007 Key Updates in the past 5 months John Adlam - Have reflected his birth year as 1803, but don't have recorded confirmation. On a Ontario Durham Rd Register that was done between 1848-51, he was listed as being 45, his sons, Robert as 22, George as 15, Eliz as 13, Mary Jane as 11, Susan 9, Hannah as 5, and John as 1. The register reflects the Entry date as 1845 Sept 25. But since it is a typed record from a hand written record, the Entry year was incorrectly transposed. We have to assume that it was most likely 1848, and are assuming he would have been born in 1803. So the assumption on John's birth year is the best at this time. He could have been born between 1802 and 1810. John had a brother, a first son or even could be a nephew, named Robert,who was born in Wiltshire, England. John and his family lived in Kingston and then Nelson County (Town of Burlington today) before moving to Grey County, Ontario. The Adlams and the Baileys also lived in Nelson Twp. first before they came to Grey County. They were best of friends, and considered themselves the "elite" of the area, and even bought cemetery plots near each other where they are buried in Durham Cemetery. Grey County. Clarence Bailey Adlam Added interesting item about his daughter Verna joining him in a new group, plus other details provided by his daughter Verna, plus added some details about her family members as well (ie children, and grand children). John and Fanny Bailey (Watson) Added a picture with a Walter Downs (?) to the website under John Bailey. Written on back of the picture is “Walter Downs and Great Grandpa and Grandma Bailey – Former Lady Fanny Watson”. (The closes we have record that she was a “Lady”. Thomas Bailey (1840 1894) Add his death, marriage and details about his arrival in Canada in 1855.

Added her descendents including Frizzells. Susan Edna Bailey (1901-1981) add/confrimed her birth date. Add picture of Adlam Family Coat of Arms .. came from a John Adlam in England who had a search done and had a friend create it. It is the best we have to date, but can’t confirm how authentic it is. It is different then the ones reflect on websites that will create one for you.
