I cannot find an entry for his birth, but assumed his parents from the 1841 census. His wife is a guess, but given she was born in East Rudham, Norfolk, she is the only Elizabeth of the right age christened there (actually in West Rudham).
In the 1841 census as Samuel Adams aged 30 (rounded down to a multiple of 5), born in Norfolk, employed as an agicultural labourer, and living with Elizabeth (wife?), George (son?), John and Mary (parents?), and Mary Ann (neice - ddaughter of John and Ann?) by the Church, Topcroft, Norfolk.
In the 1851 census as Samuel Adams aged 44, born in Hempnall, employed as an agricultural labourer, and living with his wife (Elizabeth), son (George) and two daughters (Albina and Louisa) in Topcroft (birth taken from this entry).
In the 1861 census as Saml Adams aged 53, born in Hempnall, employed as an agricultural labourer and living with his wife (Elizabeth), son (George) and daughter (Albina) at Church Green, Topcroft.
I cannot find any later information - his wife may have died in 1864 or 1865.
Hempnall and Topcroft are two miles apart some 12 miles south of Norwich.
Samuel Adams was my second great granduncle.
