The Adams family originated from Ireland. Samuel Adams was born 1827 in Ireland. He married Jane, who"s maiden name was also Adams. at the Presbyterian Church May St Belfast 1849 Sams father was Hugh Adams and Janes was Henry Adams,we think they were brothers.
The family came over from Ireland in the 1860s. Their children were Hugh Henry,Margaret,Jane, Mary,Agnes and Sarah Ann.
Samuel died on board the Brig Nellie in St Georges Dock , Liverpool 9 March 1876.
Hugh Henry became a known and respected independant Methodist minister,preaching at the Hill O Zion,Cochrane St church,Everton. The church is still standing today, but not used for methodist service now.
I would like to research the family back further and to know more about Sams life as a mariner and where he visited on the Brig Nellie or indeed more information about the ship would be of great interest to us.
Any help or ideas for reseach would be appriciated.

Nathaniel and other Adams had a master grocer business in Liverpool, owned The Seasons residence 65 Anfield Rd, Liverpool and married the daughter of Rev William Wilkinson an local Liverpool Primitive Methodest minister. Also, connecter are his next genetaion up, being the Adams’ gravestones immediately inside the Tullyrusk cemetery gate (apparently twins Robert Adams of Ballynacoy B.1811 and Thomas Adams of Hillhead Farm, Derrykillultagh (Hillhead Lane opposite the filterbeds, off the Lisburn to Glenavy Rd, North Ireland). I believe I am a direct descendent of Thomas Adams, some of whose offspring John, Nathaniel, Thomas, Emma, Susannah, Katherine/Sarah went to Liverpool and set up a business, then dispersed around the globe. The Hillhead farm is now apparently split and owned by the McCartney’s, Ferguson’s and possibly Acheson, descendents of the Adams girls left behind after the boys left during the mid 1800’s for Liverpool and other parts of the world. To this extent, you will note I am located in Sydney, Australia and contactable via

Can i revive this post as i believe i may be in some way related?
i am an Adams, and i remeber being told a church was owned in the family in everton. Coincidence?
Robert Adams (my great grandfather, no deceased Approx age today 99) was involved in Fibrous Plaster mouldings, his son, his son, and now me, are all still involved in this.
any more info about the family?
-
Samuel Adams was my grt grandfather x2.His son Hugh Henry grt grandfather & his son Frederick my grandad. He was also a plasterer on the Wirral.I have not done any research for a while,but had not got any further back than Samuel.Yes,we must be distantly related but not sure how.I will look on my Ancestry tree.

As far as i can trace my family back it goes
me > steven john adams > derick john adams (wife lorna james) > robert john adams
i cant seem to get any further than robert john adams, Who i believe worked for his 2 uncles, at 'adams brothers' when the fibrous plastering started. i would like to trace as much of this back as possible.
regards -mike adams

Hi,
I have been tracing my family tree Adams on ancestry uk and have got back to 1808. Our Adams family from Liverpool when traced back came from widnes and before that bunny in Nottinghamshire. I believe they had a shop in chatsworth street L7. Look me up on ancestry.com as your Robert may be on one of the census in my tree it's worth a try. Good luck.

Hi I'm a descendent of Thomas Henry Adams (born 1852) who was a cousin of Hugh Henry Adams. Adams Bros Plasterers were founded in 1916 by his sons. The brothers were Thomas, Richard, Jack, James, William and Robert (my Grandfather). Check out our Adams Family Tree on Ancestry. The family originate from Ireland but because Irish Church records were lost in early 1900's I'm struggling go back further than Henry Adams born circa 1800. My father, who died last year, was a plasterer and director of the business until it went into administration in 1977? Love to hear from anyone with similar connections.
