According to the birth records available here, Kay E Adamson born in 1948 is listed as male. I feel sure this is the right person because of the mother's maiden name and the area in which he was born. For the same reasoning, a sister Jennifer A Adamson was born in 1950.
The marriage records available here show a Kay E Adamson (male) married Miss Vivian Waugh in 1978. They also show Vivian Waugh married Miss Egleton in 1992 and a Kay E Adamson (male) married Allan Arnaud (male) in 1998 and were living in Helensburg. I have been informed that Adamson and Arnaud divorced in 2011.
I did write to the address in Helensburgh but it has been returned to me unopened saying the addressee no longer lives there.
A Jennifer A Adamson married Andrew J Whittaker in 1970 but I cannot find them.

It looks as if the Waugh who married Kay E Adamson in 1978 later remarried in Durham in 1992 - and married a definite female, so he must be male, and therefore that Kay Adamson is female!

I take it that "your" Kay is male, from your message?

PM from Robert:

"Thank you for your response.
I am new to this family searching.
A Mr Kay E Adamson married a Miss Waugh in 1978. I have no idea if this is the same Adamson, but how do you find the divorce records and the more recent electoral rolls? I can't find mention of either of them after 2010."



Robert, the Arnaud divorce record is on scotlandspeople.gov.uk, because the divorce took place in Scotland.
It's not a subscription site - you have to register, and then buy credits. If you want a copy of a recent certificate , it can be ordered on the website, or older records can be viewed for the cost of a few credits.
Basic searching, such as I did for the divorce, is free of charge.

English divorce records after 1915 are harder to come by:

English divorces 1858-1915 are on ancestry.co.uk, which is a subscription site.

With the Adamson / Waugh marriage, it's hard to know whether that Kay is male or female, as the Waugh forename could also be either male or female. From the spelling I would assume male, but you never know!
If the Kay Adamson who married Waugh is the same one who later married Mr Arnaud, then she must be female.



Recent Electoral Roll entries are on 192.com, as Patchem mentioned above, for which you need to buy credits to see actual addresses. (Or Patchem might send you the details in a private message if you want it.) However, if a person has opted out of the public ER, their name won't show up there.
You could try writing to the Helensburgh address, in case one or other of them is still living there, or in case the new owner or tenant knows where they have gone.
(I think it's a Garelochhead address - near Helensburgh - as per whitepages.co.uk.)

Neither of them appears to be in the BT phonebook, for the Helensburgh area, but perhaps they don't have a landline.

There is no record of Kay E Adamson or Arnaud having either remarried or died in Scotland, (unless not using the middle initial) nor her ex-husband Mr Arnaud.
Nor in England/Wales, unless very recently, in which case it won't be online yet.

It's possible that one or both of them may have emigrated, but there will be no record available to us online for such a recent event.

Please don't reply directly to me, but add your reply, if any, in the white box at the bottom of this page, below where it says "Add your reply", and click submit. That way all the helpers can see, and you may have more chance of someone spotting something useful.

Re the Arnaud marriage -

There is a marriage for Kay E Adamson in 1978 to Mr Waugh (Sunderland), and Kay E Adamson to Mr Arnaud in 1998 (Durham).

If you look on 192.com, there was a Kay E Adamson in the same household as Mr Arnaud in Helensburgh from 2004 to 2010.

If you look for Jennifer Adamson born 1950 in people's trees on here, you will find the tree belonging to Jennifer Whittaker.

Suggest you try to contact her.

Added:
In addition, another member (Robert) has both Jennifer and Kay (1948) in his tree, so you could also try and contact him.
