Notes

David had seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. We've found all siblings but not him. He was a witness at his brother John's wedding in 1887. He was a beneficiary of his fathers will in 1921 and his sister's will in 1926. UPDATE: I finally found David living in Sydney, New South Wales. He died on the 26 April 1951 at Narrabeen but I cannot find his death certificate. There is one David Adams death registered at Manly in 1951 with parents names David and Ann. Is this our David with incorrect parents information given by informant?
