Hi there, I have Harry born in Buckingham (written on a later on birth certificate from New Zealand).

Thanks.

Hi
I am finding it difficult to find Harry.
Without giving names of people still living, do you have names for any of his children so that I can look to see if they were named after his parents or siblings?

[heatherjulie]

What was Harry's job?

[karenlee]

The NZ Historical BMD Index shows a few children born to Harry and Mary..

James ADAMS 1907
Harry ADAMS 1905
Ethel ADAMS 1903
William ADAMS 1910

Not that helpful really given that the SEANOR children had these names except for Harry

Found him!

There is a Harry Adams born 1869 Buckinghamshire, married, boarding in Whitechapel, London in 1901.
His occupation is Marine Fireman (seas)

It says unemployed at this time processing for new Zealand

Very good point. This is from a book insert that my great grandmother wrote.

Harry came to New Zealand in 1901 with his wife Mary, he also brought his parents, his fathers name was James (I believe) and he died on the boat coming over. Wife's name was Elizabeth, and she died in New Zealand about 1930 at the age of 81.

Harry and Mary Adams children were Ethel (1903-1997, my Great Grandmother).
                                                     Harry jnr. (1905-1984).
                                                     James (1907-1977).
                                                     William (1910-1986).
And Les who was adopted.

Harry senior died  1949, and his wife Mary died in 1963.

Forgot to mention that Harry Adams came over with his sister as well, Sarah, she married a John James (Jack) Arnold. Hope that helps you narrow things down.

From what I know, these people are the staunch Salvation Army people, Harry was described as a Corps. Sergeant Major.

Have just found some more: Sarah Arnold died in 1961, aged 88, might help find her birthdate. John James Arnold died in 1944 at the age of 73.

Thanks.

I wonder if these are Harry's parents, given their birthplaces and where they are living at this time..
