London and Middlesex / Joseph Tall (Senior) in 1891
« on: Thursday 02 December 21 11:05 GMT (UK)  »
Just one last detail required for my research on the Talls. I know that Joseph Tall Architect born Bedford 1819 was at 2 Trocadero Villas, Belvoir Road in 1881. He was also on Belvoir Road in 1891 but I don't know which house, it wasn't the same as in 1881. Could anyone please tell me? Thanks. Jim

WOW! Thank you all so much for this information.... I thought I had Joseph's story nailed, but all of these added details mean a complete rewrite! He was partly responsible for building the terrace I live in and in 1881 was living next door with his father hence my interest. The story he gave to the Chelmsford Chronicle seems peppered with mistruths!
Thanks again. Jim

Devon / Samuel Enoch Adams 1845 - 1923
« on: Sunday 28 November 21 12:28 GMT (UK)  »
Samuel Enoch Adams was born on the 18th of July 1845 and his birth was registered at Stoke Damerel, Devon. On his baptismal record of March 8 1846, his father’s name is James Adams, a mariner of Devonport, and his mother Amelia Ann.
I have Samuel in the 1881 census, he built the terrace and occupied the house I live in at that date but I have no details of his earlier life, which I need to flesh out his profile. Has anyone got census details from 1851, 61, 71? Thanks. Jim

Hi, just found this post on Joseph Tall. I came across him whilst researching my house and discovered his connection to Charles Drake of the Concrete House fame. Samuel Enoch Adams built the terrace in Belvoir Road in 1881 choosing the larger end house as his own, and living next door was Joseph Tall. All of the interior walls in the terrace are constructed using Tall's concrete method, and as he didn't use any sand, mostly brick rubble and cement, they are solid! I am assuming Joseph, being an architect, designed the terrace. It would be good to have this confirmed. Samuel Adams was made bankrupt just after completion of the building and ended up running a coffee shop on nearby Peckham Rye. It would be good to find out what happened to the rest of the Adams family. And if anyone can tell me more about the Talls, that would be appreciated. Jim
