I didn't know how else to do this so here is my reply:
Hello Mystic Breeze

Thomas Adams was born on 26th December 1832 in Hertfordshire. in the 1841 census for England he is shown as 9 years old, male, in the parish of Kings Walden, Hitchin and Pirton, Hertfordshire. His father is John Addams age 45. Also in the house are John Addams, aged 12, Maryann Addams aged 15 and a John Jeffrey aged 14.
On the 1851 census for England, Thomas is 18. He is a lodger. It says he was born in Cockernhoe. He is lodging with John and Martha Moseley, aged 48 and 58 respectively and also a George Wilson, aged 22.
