 There was a Richard Adcock convicted of stealing from a shop in Lincoln on the 14th January 1841 age 37 he was sentenced to 7 years transportation to    Tasmania on the vessel “the John Brewer” setting sail on the 1st December    1841 then transferred to “the Fortitude” and finally to the    Waterloo who was drowned on the sailing vessel “the Waterloo” at the Cape of good hope on    August 28th 1842. This would account for him missing from the 1841 census and yet no record of his death. Abel Adcock was my Great Grandfather.

Hi, I am on a quest to find the burial plot of my great grandfather Abel Adcock, he died on the 13th of November 1914, death cert says living at Podmore, and informant was living at Bushy common, at Gressenhall, he was married to a Mary Ann Everritt on the 2nd January 1859 at the British School rooms at Holt, the 1911 census has him down as living at Podmore, his father was called Richard, but he died before the 1841 census, as it shows Abel living with his mother Ann, his brother Richard and sister Mary.
Many thanx

Simon Draper 1777 was my great great great grandfather, all the evidence looks like he was illegitimate, I have recently visited the grave of Robert his son, at St Marys Burgh St Peter, and Jerimiah his grandson, and Walter his greatgrandson at St Micheals Oulton.
