The Adam family appears here on the Man family web site when, on 3 June 1893, Beatrice Eleanor Man the eldest daughter of Edward Garnet Man, married James Graham Adam.  We have just added James Adam's very interesting memoirs/recollections consisting of some 99 pages. James makes a number of references to his in-law family - The Mans - which helps cast some light on its 20th century history and some of its individual members. To view this file (in .pdf) please click here.  Note that these pages may take some time to download.  James, along with Cecil Lowis, wrote in verse an account of a trip to Pegu (Burma) that he took with his wife and a number of her family.  To read the trip to Pegu please click here. 

Frank Adam, the brother of James, wrote two books. One on his experiences in the Far East entitled 'Leaves from the scrap-book of a Scottish exile' which can be read HERE  (<--- PDF) and the other one on the Scottish clans entitled: ' What is my tartan?: or, The clans of Scotland, with their septs and dependents' which can be read HERE (<--- PDF).

The participants in the Pegu trip included Harry Man (standing at the back on the left) and James Adam's mother-in-law, Kate Man, wearing a dark dress and holding a hat. For an account of the trip click the link above or HERE.

Below the intrepid adventurers set out on their trip to Pegu.
