I wonder if someone can make any helpful suggestions about where to look for a birth or baptism for Frederick ADAM. >From census information, we know he must have been born in 1858 in Bromley-by-Bow or Poplar and from a granddaughter's birthday book his actual birthday has recently been confirmed as May 24th 1858. We have sent for a couple of birth certificates and so far have met a blank. His elder brothers, George and Thomas were both baptised on the same day in 1851 as eachother at St Thomas's, Stepney, But neither the next child, Charlotte, nor Frederick seem to have been Christened.. His father was a mariner and they moved frequently around the Parish but never very far, just a few streets. I have exhausted FreeBMD. One reason I want to find his birth is to see if his father George Bruce ADAM was alive because my next problem is finding a death certificate for George! His mother Ann, lived until 1902. Here he is on our family tree: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=kosmoid&id=I7215 The spelling, although originally Scottish ADAM has often been changed by census takers or registrars to ADAMS when in London. Best wishes, Jane
