Frederick Augustus ADAMS [1320]

  General Notes:

I have ascertained that Frederick Adams first wife Sarah died in 1879. He then married Elizabeth Fritchley (Choulerton) who was a widow with approximately 6-8 children at the time.

In 1881 Frederic is living in Alexandra Street, Stapleford, Nottinghamshire. His occupation is given as Pilot Guard (Rail). There is no mention of Sarah and he is living with a housekeeper and a large number of his children, the youngest mentioned being 2 .

At this time Evangaline was living with her Aunt and Uncle where she seems to have been since around the time she was 4 years of age or possibly younger. I have only been able to find the births of Edgar T Adams, Beatrice M Adams and Evangaline Adams. The other births have not been found under the name of Adams to date.

I have found the marriage of Frederick Augustus Adams to Elizabeth Fritchley in 1880 in Nottinhamshire. This is the correct marriage to Elizabeth Fritchley, as some of the children at the 1881 census have the second initial of F. I have now found the marriage of Ellen Jane Fritchley (one of the children) to Harry Hives Wheeldon, so it is definitely Fritchley. There is no mention of Frederick Adams second wife Elizabeth at the 1881 census, but I have found an Eliza Adams who was a resident of the lunatic asylum at Sneiton, Nottinghamshire, which is quite near the Adams residence at the time of the 1881 census. Her place of birth is correct, although her age is a few years out.

At the 1891 census I have found Frederick Adams and wife Elizabeth Adams and several of these children living at 92 Bridge Street, Ashton Under Lyne, Cheshire, England. Frederick's occupation is given as iron piler at this time.

At the 1901 Census I have found an Elizabeth Adams staying with her daughter Ellen Jane Wheeldon at Long Eaton, Derbyshire, England. I have now found the marriage of Ellen Jane Fritchley to Harry Hives Wheeldon.

In 1911, Frederick was a widower living with his son Frederick Allen Adams at 100 Birch Lane, Dunkinfield, Cheshire. Also living at that address was Joseph, who I assume to be James Josiah.

After much research I have ascertained that Frederick Adams first wife Sarah died in 1879. He then married Elizabeth Fritchley (Choulerton) who was a widow with approximately 6-8 children at the time.

Frederick married Sarah ALLEN [6642] [MRIN: 9], daughter of David ALLEN [6651] and Ann BLACKMORE [6652], Jun Q 1866 in Daventry, Northamptonshire, England.²³⁴⁹ (Sarah ALLEN [6642] was born about 1844 in Long Buckby, Northamptonshire, England and died Mar Q 1879 in Shardlow, Derbyshire, England ²³⁵².)

Frederick next married Elizabeth CHOULERTON [6661] [MRIN: 1861] in Mar 1880 in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England.²³⁵⁰ (Elizabeth CHOULERTON [6661] was born in 1841 in Stableford, Nottinghamshire, England and died before 1911.)
