Thomas Adams and Elizabeth Archer married at Parkend on 26 December 1859, witnesses were Philip and Ann ADAMS. Thomas was born in 1824 at Newland and was a woodcutter.
In the 1861 Census in West Dean Thomas and Elizabeth have a son Thomas aged eight.
He doesn't appear in the next census and after 1881 census I can find no trace of Thomas or Elizabeth. Prior to Elizabeth Archer's marriage she had two illegitimate children, Frederick Archer Morse (father Frederick Morse) and Hiram Archer born c 1853 (named after Elizabeth's brother who was transported to Bermuda). Can anyone help?
