As the text of the message I sent to the list yesterday appears to have evaporated, I am repeating the information here, even though Nivard has already found H T Adams's office. The Leamington Spa Courier of 17 April 1886 reported that his application to be Sergeant-at-mace had been accepted and that applications were invited to replace him as Town Crier. In another report on the proceedings of the Warwick Town Council meeting, dated 16 November 1889, we learn that H T Adams was reappointed as Sergeant-at-mace and J. Oldham as Beadle & Town Crier. H T Adams was also a Bread Weigher & Ale Taster, inter alia, for that year. As the local paper always included virtually full minutes of Council meetings, a further search would no doubt bring up further details. It would really help if people did not send in queries without giving as much detail as possible. Had it been mentioned immediately that the titles appeared in the Warwick census, they could have been checked immediately either in a directory, where Nivard found them, or in the newspaper. The whole Leamington Spa Courier is not yet on line in the British Newspaper Archive, but most of the 19th century is there, beginning in 1828, if I remember correctly.
