I found the following using Google:
Black Country Bugle (June 1993) - Pub of the Month
“……..Extensive grounds at the rear of the ANCHOR operated as a market garden with John Adams
being noted in the 1851 directory as a ‘seedsman’ whilst his son James had taken over the licence of
the public house.”
James Adams, beer retailer, Gorsty Hill [1864]
So I guess these are the census details?
1851
Household schedule number: 55

Piece: 2034

Page Number: 13
Household Members:

Do you know whose widow Hannah is? And who did James marry?
(not answering your question, but just asking more!)

I think I searched for his name along with seedsman, since that occupation is a bit unusual.
