Thomas Adams, married to Elizabeth Sweetman
« on: Thursday 29 November 18 19:21 GMT (UK) »
Thomas Adams married Elizabeth Sweetman in 1918. She was born in 1894 and they lived in Hastings. Thomas died before 1939 and in 1945 Elizabeth married William Clarke. In 1964 she married a man named Parlett, and died in Hastings in 1980. Quite a few Thomas Adamses died in Sussex between 1935 and 1939. Their son David Adams was born in 1935. Does anyone have any ideas about when Thomas was born, who his parents were?

You might be better to get a copy of the marriage certificate to see what information is on it ..
His occupation and fathers name might help you to find him on census records

David Roland Adams mmn Sweetman (1935-2005) was born in Kent by the looks of it - Faversham district.  Perhaps the family spent some time in that area?
