    Default Nicolas Adams -where did he go?

    My g/grandfather, Nicolas Adams, born 1857, St.Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands. There is no death record on the Island, his wife remarried very early into their marriage, I've searched and searched with no luck. I'm wondering if when he left Guernsey he didn't give the correct country he was born in?. How else could he be so elusive.
    He is the last missing piece on my family tree.

    Hello

    You indicate that you have found Nicholas ADAMS, b 1857, at what point in his life do you lose track of him......

    he married when, and when did his wife remarry?

    Hi Fern68,

    In 1881 his place of birth is given as St.Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands

    Les Baissieres
    St. Peter Port
    Guernsey
    Channel Islands

    Anne Adams/Head/Wid/50/Laundress/St. Peter Port, Guernsey
    Nicolas Adams/Son/23/Painter etc/St. Peter Port, Guernsey
    Annie Adams/Dau/25/St. Peter Port, Guernsey
    Frederick Adams/Son/21/Gardener/St. Peter Port, Guernsey



    Sorry, misread it but it might help others. Frederick and Annie are still there in 1891 but I can find no trace of Nicolas.

    Nicolas married 6 November 1881, he was there in the 1881 census but not the 1891. MaryAnn had her first child in the second marriage to Thomas Staunton by 1893, Lena Staunton. Nicolas disappears from the scene after the 1881 census.

    Hello

    This post links with an original post on The Isles board Nicolas Adams

    Whilst Nicolas ADAMS last appeared on the 1881 CI Census, he appeared to father 4 children, the last Arichibald b circe 1888, by 1891 his 'widow' MAry has married Thomas STAUNTON, Nicolas appears to disappear in the period 1887 - 1891
