Adams Family
Posted: 11 Jan 2019 15:39
I am researching a family where a number of births resulted in all of the older children being put in Banardos homes and the younger children kept. Many births marriages etc were from Norfolk and later Lambeth & Wandsworth.
I have tried Ancestry and FMP databases with Births marriages and deaths and also the Census of 1901 amd 1911
Freebmd for Henry William Adams birth in 1902 lists Q3 1902 Thetford 4B 240 on inspecting the original from GRO this is digital translation incorrect wrong as the this was a Bristol . I have a marriage which I know is correct as Henry W (William?) Adams marrying Q1 1928 ThetfordB 563 to Gladys Muriel Gertrude Crowe.
I need to find the siblings of Henry . I think I have found 2 of them (there are quite a few more)
I searched the Census of 1911 and found the following:- Henry William Adams b 1904 (actual Q3 1903 Lambeth 1D 292) and Violet Emily Adelaide Adams b 1902 (actual Q2 1902 Kensington 1A 103. Both were being looked after by Henry Christopher Dolton Laxton (head b 1863) at Shouldham Downham Norfolk..both children described as Barnados children Boarder.
The boys mother appeared to be Coombs and the girls to be Lee.
The only way forward to finding the rest of them is to go to the starting point and maybe get the marriage certificate of Henry & Gertrude in 1928 and seeing the father and mothers names. I think there were 9 children.
Very complicated
Any help welcome !!
