Notes

His two sisters were born at Hungry Hill, Farnham in 1838 and 1840.

In the 1841 census as George Adams aged 4, born in Surrey and living with William and Hannah (parents?), Eliza and Sarah (sisters?), William and Ruth Vindon (grandparents?) and Richard Vindon (uncle?) at Hungry Hill, Farnham, Surrey. Another family was living at the same address.

His two sisters was born in Hale in 1844 and 1846, and third in St George the Martyr in 1849.

In the 1851 census as George Adams aged 12, born in Farnham, Surrey, and living with his parents (William and Hannah), and five sisters (Eliza, Elizabeth, Emma, Jane and Sarah) at 2 Bedford Court, St George the Martyr, Middlesex. Four other families lived at this address. The ages of Eliza and George appear to have been the wrong way round.

I cannot find the family in the 1861 census.

In the 1871 census as George Adams aged 33, born in Farnham, Surrey, single, in the Prince of Wales 3rd Dragoon Guards at the West Cavalry Barrackes, Aldershot, Surrey.

Marriage of George Adams and Sarah Ann Newman in FreeBMD in October-December 1871 in Pancras (1b 140).

The family were living at 18 Goldington Street in 1873, 8 Cherries Place in 1875 and 28 Goldington Street in 1877 from the christening of his children when he was a railway servant/porter.

In the 1881 census as George Adams aged 44, born in Farnham, Surrey, and a railway porter living with his wife (Sarah), two sons (George H W and William J) and daughter (Ada Alice) at 28 Goldington Street, Somers Town, St Pancras, London. Two other families were living at the same address.

There are three entries in Ancestry London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 George Adams address 28 Goldington Street North in 1880, 1883 and 1887.

His wife died in St Pancras in 1888.

Death of George Adams in FreeBMD in October-December 1899 aged 61 in Pancras (1b 20).

Gill Cartmel has an entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for George Adams born in 1837 in Farnham, Surrey, parents William Adams and Hannah Vinden, his marriage to Sarah Adams in October 1871 in London, and four children (incorrectly adding Adelaid who was born in Lewisham in 1880 taking from the 1891 census for another family). Richard Adams has an entry born in 1837 with no father, wife as Sarah Ann Newman, and his three children.

St Pancras was transfered from Middlesex to London in 1889.
