I think they are two different James Adams's. The one is a Nailer and lives in Rowley Village and the other is a Victualler living Gorsty Hill.

Possibly different James Adams but I still think Absalom is connected to wrong parents and is related to Joseph Adams and Ann Payne as could not be son as they are 20 and he is 12
