Hi Dolly Did you ever find James? I've just had a look and can't see him in 81 or 91 either Wondering if he was illegitimate and mum married after his birth so he is recorded as something other than Godfrey.
There is a Louis James Adams born Ware c 1877 who appears on all censuses in Ware with mum Ellen but I cannot see a corresponding Adams birth for him. Unfortunatley can't see an Ellen Godfrey to Anthony Adams marriage either! So he could be a red herring.

Ignore all that Anthony Adams married Ellen Wilson in 1875.
