Adams family after 1881...

[Belvoirboy]

Samuel Enoch Adams built the terrace where I live in 1881. He was also living in my house when the 1881 census was taken. Unfortunately he was declared bankrupt later the same year and doesn't reappear in 1891. I am researching the history of my house which is partly constructed using Joseph Tall's patented concrete shuttering system. Joseph lived next door. What I would like to know is what happened next to the Adams family?

Samuel Enoch Adams 35
Emma Anne Adams 31
Emma A 10
Samuel W 9
Harry J 4
Gertrude M 2
Elizabeth E 9m
Clara Beckford 15 Gen Servant

I know more about Clara than I do about the Adams so any help much appreciated. Jim

Quite a bit for you to be going on with there 

Death for Emma same address in 1912.

Samuel died in 1923.

Thanks for the speedy reply.... Samuel went from being a builder employing 20 men to running a coffee shop on Peckham Rye! I just had a quick look but unfortunately 74 has been demolished to make way for a new block of flats. Apologies for forgetting to put in the original address... 49 Belvoir Road, or 1 Trocadero Villas as it was known then.

The next occupant was a Policeman, Hugh Grant from Scotland... now what stories could he tell?

[Milliepede]

Is that all you wanted to know about Samuel - what he did after being a builder? 

[Belvoirboy]

I'd like to find out as much as possibly and hopefully find some photographs of Samuel & his family. I have done this with my own family by tracing living relatives with photographs passed down through their families but with a name as common as Adams it could prove to be more difficult.

Bankruptcy in case you did not have it . . . . .
