Hi, I am researching the family of my 4X Great Grandfather, Stephen ADAMS - here are his details: 1778: Born about 1778 in Leicestershire (parents may have been John ADAMS and Elizabeth CROFTS of Wartnaby as these names recur and John ADAMS died in Thorpe Arnold) 1799: married 6 June 1799 to Elizabeth STANHOPE in Thorpe Arnold 1808: married 24 Nov 1808 to Mary STEERE in Leicester 1818: lived in Thorpe Arnold but owned a farm in Hose, occupied by Mr DOUBLEDAY (a possible relation via marriage) 1832: Lived on the road from Thorpe Arnold to Grantham. 1834: 1 May 1834 buried at Thorpe Arnold Known Children: 1. Francis Stanhope ADAMS 1800 – 1881 2. Mary ADAMS 1802 – 3. Ann Crofts ADAMS 1813 – 1829 I know little about Wartnaby and have based most research on the parish registers at Thorpe Arnold, available via online transcripts and LDS microfilmj. They are a bit of a mess with much duplication and notes and scribbles. However, this seems pretty solid. I would love to know more about the ADAMS's of Thorpe Arnold and the STANHOPE family - in particular to find the birth / parents of Elizabeth STANHOPE 1780-1806. Thanks for considering, Shannon Seattle, WA, USA
