I just want to record that Thomas was the father of John Jackson (Jack) Adams (aged four months at the time of his father's death).Jack became involved local politics and was instrumental in bringing much needed new industries to West Cumberland during the 1940s and 1950s. He became Baron Adams of Ennerdale in 1949. He died in 1960.
