William Henry Lawrence Adams

[cyndy]

William Henry Lawrence Adams b. 7/10/1906 Towcester [Ascote?] was one of my mother`s foster brothers. I haven`t been able to trace him beyond 1913 when his name is recorded on the Towcester Cof E School Admission Register 1911-1929. He had two brothers Charles and Percy and parents Harry and Lottie Adams for whom my records are complete. Can anyone help please with further info. for William?

Interesting. I had found a possible marriage for a William Henry Adams to Bird in Christchurch, Bournemouth. Maybe I need to research further for a death in this area. Thanks for your help.

I wonder if this is her in 1939
Florence J Ann   Bird (Adams,Berd)   born 1906   
Christchurch M.B.   Hampshire

She is with a Wesley R Bird who I think is possibly her father.

This looks promising though the initial J on the 1939 is probably wrongly transcribed

Birth Dec qtr 1906 
Florence Ivy A   Bird    
Christchurch    2b   626

Date of birth stated on 1939 is 18 September 1906

Thanks for the extra info. I still cant find a likely death for William I`m wondering if he died in WW2 or emmigrated.
Also please could anyone provide me with the 1911 census Piece and schedule No. for the Adams family. They are living in Pattishall and are Harry, Annie Lottie, Charles, William and Percival.

This looks like the death for the Ivy Bird I was looking at. Perhaps they divorced ...

Had just spotted that death entry for Florence myself and assumed she hadn`t married William H L Adams. It`s a mystery as to his whereabouts a his brothers kept in touch until their deaths. I don`t remember them talking about him though I do have a vague recollection that he was in the forces in WW2

22 Beaconsfield Road is where Florence I A Bird was living in 1939
