    1. [WAR] ADAMS family of Stretton on Fosse

    3. Hi, Again, thank you for posting suggestions regarding our ADAMS family. I have been quite sure that James ADAMS, baptised 14 Mar 1791, Honington, was the father of James ADAMS, my husband's 2 x great grandfather, but will endeavour to go through all of my material again, to make sure that I have not missed anything. On the 1841 census for Ebrington, Glos., I found James Adams b.1791, his wife, Elizabeth (formerly Gardner), sons James Jr., and William plus a granddaughter, Maria Adams, base-born daughter of Sarah Adams who is now married to Stephen Harris and living next door to this family. Their address has been transcribed on Find My Past as "Starve All" probably an apt name for some places in those days! I have to say it looks as though it is the correct transcription, but I am not 100% sure of that as I cannot quite decipher it myself. It is census number HO 107/360/30 Folio 10 Page 15. James Sr. died 4 July 1846 and was buried 6 July 1846, both events in Stretton on Fosse. I have the death certificate in my possession. Cause of death Peritonitis, 24 hours. I do know that James Adams, Police Officer is one and the same as James Adams, Cab Proprietor, so know that I am on the right trail with him. Addresses match up to marriage & birth certificates, ages, father's name and occupation, census records, etc. It's the search for the elusive birth registration of Herbert!
