	The only one I can see from Brigstock is Thomas H Adams Age: 14 Estimated birth year: abt 1847 Relation: Son Father's name: Charles Mother's name: Rebecca Gender: Male Where born: Brigstock, Northamptonshire, England Civil parish: Brigstock County/Island: Northamptonshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: Thrapston Sub-registration district: Thrapston ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 98 Household Members: Name Age Charles Adams 51 John H Adams 24 Joseph H Adams 19 Rebecca Adams 49 Thomas H Adams 14 but I have looked at the image and he is definitely 14, so the wrong age

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 127 Send Message	Hi, I forgot to include he was a Farm servant, not a House servant on the 1871 census. Could Thomas have been a middle name? Vicki
