I've had the microfilm on eternal backorder with the FHL. I am seeking information on a William Adams of Bottesford, Leicestershire. On 11 Oct 1830, William Adams married Penninah Riley in Bottesford. The couple had 3 children: Ann: born 1831 in Bottesford. William: born and died in 1832 in Bottesford. And my 2nd Great Grandmother Mary born 1835 in Bottesford. On 26 Apr 1838, Penninah goes on to marry John Lewty in Nottingham and gives birth to 4 more children in Bottesford. This leads me to believe that William Adams passes away sometime between 1834-1838. I have not found information on William Adams birth nor death. Penninah was born on 6 March 1809 in Bottesford to George Riley and Ann Porter. Any information or leads will be much appreciated! John

Children - Ann baptised 2 March 1831 No baptism for son William in the register but his burial on 14 November 1832 age 1 year. Mary baptised 23 August 1835. The above are all recorded on my Bottesford website. I feel William either died or left Penninah before the birth of Mary, as Mary is described as the daughter of Penninah Adams rather than of William & Penninah. I also think William was not born in Bottesford as there are no baptisms or burials of Adams before 1832 in Bottesford (my database covers baps 1722-1856 burials 1730-1900 marriages 1563-1814).
