BMDB data

     William MacAdie was born on 3 Apr 1830 at Killemster, Par. of Wick, CAI, SCT.1,4 He was baptized on 24 Feb 1832 at Wick, CAI, SCT; entries for 24th Feb (IGI has 2 Mar 1832) include these two baptisms for children of George McAdie and Elizabeth Rosie, reading:
McAdie George, Grieve at Killemster, had by his wife Elizabeth Rosie a son born Decr 14th 1831 & bapd James. - Witt. David Farqhuar, Farm Servant at Killemster & Margaret Leith there. - Also a son born April 3rd 1830, & bapd William - Witt. Jean McAdie in Windlass & Donald Scott, Servant in Ackergill.4,5
     William MacAdie died aft. 1841 ?Hillhead, Par. of Wick, CAI, SCT.1

Census/Where lived/Occupations

     William MacAdie appeared on the census of 1841 at Hillhead, Par. of Wick, CAI, SCT, in the household of George MacAdie and Elizabeth McAdie and is assumed to be a son.6,1 It is possible that William MacAdie was at Glasgow St David, LKS, SCT, in 1851 to date the only candidate for William son of George and Elizabeth (ROSIE) McADIE in 1851 is as a joiner in Glasgow, lodging in the hsehold of a MacKAY couple from Sutherland and Caithness. No obvious family connection as yet. However the occupation seems unlikely. We do know that the Glasgow joiner is unlikely to be the joiner William son of George and Margaret (LEVACH) McADIE though, as he was at home with his parents in that census.7

All the other info

     William MacAdie and William McAdie in 1853 are possibly the same person one married Janet MURRAY 1853 and has son John either AUS or SCT; the other the son of George McADIE and Elizabeth ROSIE, with them in 1841 at Hillhead.8
     Another potential duplicate of William McAdie is William MacAdie; one living Ararat, Ripon VIC in 1874 and witness to the birth of Harold Henderson McADIE there; ; the other the son of George McADIE and Elizabeth ROSIE, with them in 1841 at Hillhead.9
     Another potential duplicate of William McAdie is William MacAdie; one with HM Customs in London, married to Sarah ABBOTT, father George, a farmer; the other the son of George McADIE and Elizabeth ROSIE, with them in 1841 at Hillhead (thought there was a better match with George/Margaret, George being s/o William and Susannah (MILLICAN) but he died single in Forres).
It is highly possible that the one married to Sarah is George and Elizabeth's William, but I'd be happier if I could definitively find him in 1851, and/or rule out the one married to Janet MURRAY, and the one witnessing a baptism in Australia in 1874.10,11
