ADAMS William - Gunsmith

[trachelospermum]

Thanks for all that! I have a lot of the Yeardye family, but was stumped by the name Adams as Yeardy is far easier to deal with and most of my names are unusual ones! Would it be likely that Joseph Adams was a Gunmaker too? Thanks again, Jo

He might have been; alternatively William could have been apprenticed to a gunsmith. But I have to admit you've not got a lot to work with.

London. Very helpful.

I suppose it's the gunsmith that offers you your best hope.

Good luck

That was my feeling! I've just searched the 1841 census for Joseph Adams born between 1770-1795, but no gunmakers yet!
