Hi,

30 High Street, Galley Hill.

Does that address mean anything to your Dad???

Dee

Once you have the birth certs, I think it will be the name of the mother that will sort it all out for us.

IS THIS WILLIE?????

Robert (or Bernard) is stating that he was born in; Whitechapel, London, England

Confused??? but this would tie in nicely with the info on Willie's certs that you have.

Look at the wifes name and the 1891 census for Bernard, recognise the children???

I've been trying to trace Johannes and Elizabeth (bernards parents)

can't find them on the 1871 on onwards, found this though;

Hi,

Adams Harold Percy Dartford 2a 469


maybe a cousin???

Dee

Hi Denise, I also looked at the 1901 census with the annie from Snodland and like you was not sure that it was the right one,Willie Archibald Adams was my Grandfather i have a Marriage Certificate and Death Certificate for him, Willie was born on 13/01/1894 He married Mary Hawkes in 1921 his fathers name is on the certificate as Robert Bernard Adams, Profession, Cooper (Foreman) Willie's residence was Swanscombe on the certificate which was where my Dad said the Family came from,so the Snodland connection was a surprise to him, I'm doubt'full now that his wife was a Annie as it was finding the only Willie Archibald Adams that lead me to that name..... if that makes sense.
The marriage was witnessed by a Harold Percy Adams, i have no idea who he is,could be a Brother or Uncle. Many Thanks
Tim

TPA, you say you know of the one son willie, any dates for him??

I cannot find Robert with Ann on the census returns.

Dee

Not sure if the above is the right family as on the 1891 census father is william, found this though;
