I already had the birth of his children and all three marriages from a previous look up. Today I was planning to zoom back and find his birth in 1796 but nothing there and no references to the surname.. I also saw nothing for the families of two of his three wives, and although I found the surname of the other wife her birth was not there either. I looked in both Little and Great Glemham (2 parishes fairly close together) with no luck. He was a shoemaker - don't know if he would have leaened this trade in a village? With names like Joseph Adams and Hannah Butcher how do I go about finding them? Not sure I want to play anymore.... Any ideas or advice welome. Alice |

Hi Alice Was it the parish registers you were looking at? Are the Bishops Transcripts available at the records office? Might be worth a look to see if they are on there. Jeanette x |

Alice, Have you found them on a census? 1871 census (RG 10/365 Folio 60 p.16 ) He is living at 83, Golden Buildings, St. Clement Danes. Joseph Adams head, married, 75, Boot maker, born Suffolk. Ann Adams, wife, married, 54, born Suffolk. also Andrew Malten, lodger, unmarried, a porter, born Suffolk. Sorry there isn't more information. Perhaps an 1851 or 1861 census look up would give more information. Rosemary(Essex) |
