He was living at Alfred Villa, Falsgrave, York at time of 1881 census with his wife 6 children, niece and 1 servant. Whilst William was in Scarborough Adey's Popular Guide to Scarborough was compiled, presumably produced by him. The British Library has a copy of the fourth yearly issue 1887-88, the publishers were Alexander & Shepheard, London and E C Sampson, York.

While William Thomas was at Scarborough C H Spurgeon was minister at what is now the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His preaching was so popular that large halls were hired and crowds as large as 10,000 attended. His sermons could still be found on the internet in 2005, included in the archives of The Sword and the Trowel Magazine, and one refers to a telegram and a letter received from William Thomas. The telegram which is from Mr Mesquitta and Mr Adey reads "Glorious time yesterday. Chapels full. Albert Hall overflowing. Three thousand at circus." The letter reads "We expect today to have to shift our quarters to more commodious premises for the noon meetings, at which we have had every day 500 of the best Christians in Scarborough, drawn from the ranks of the Society of Friends, and the Evangelical churches, as well as from our Nonconformist places. We have had to alter our advertisements, to burn our handbills, to run short of books, to cover our posters, and, finally, to engage the large circus for nearly all our meetings, with the certainty of its being vastly too small for us God has given us a very rich blessing. The thing is growing. An excellent spirit pervades the town just now. The season is over: people are more at liberty, and everything seems to fit in a providential manner. We love the men very much, and are the joyful witnesses of their faithful testimony. Fullerton fastens with an iron grasp on primary truths, and makes them fall like axes at the roots of the trees. There is great variety in his subjects, as well as methods. A sermon of his on 'Regeneration', delivered apparently without over-strained effort, could hardly have been excelled by Jonathan Edwards for the awful sense of solemn need produced in the first half of the discourse, or for the sweet relief which came to us when he led us to the serpent uplifted in the latter part of his most textual exposition. I am wearying you, but I must in justice to Mr Smith say that his pathos and simplicity, together with his gifts of music and song, seem to complete the equipment - well, of this apostolic pair of preachers. I begin to wish that we all went in twos, for these preachers preach to each other. They are not eremites like us, but brethren. - Yours most truly, Wm Thos Adey." Scarborough Circus was a large, newly built theatre in Scarborough.

In 1884 he moved to the heart of East London as minister at Commercial Street, Whitechapel where he held services at 11am and 8.30pm. According to the Daily News, which regularly listed "Preachers for To-morrow" he sometimes preached at the East London Tabernacle, Burdett Road. Assuming that he produced Adey's Popular Guide to Scarborough his address at this time was 15 Victoria Park Road, London E.

In 1887 he moved to Haven Green, Ealing and then in 1893 to Kingsbridge, Devon where he stayed until his retirement in 1908.

A 23 page booklet entitled Master and Brethren: A Sermon Delivered at Ealing, December 4th 1887 by William Thomas Adey was published in 1887.

On Sunday 16th April 1899 as part of the Centenary services William delivered an address "The Story of The Past" and on the evening of Tuesday 18th April he read a detailed history pf the Church from 1640 - 1899.

In 1889 The Albion Reciters Sunday School Readings, Recitations and Dialogues was published by Frederick Warne & Co, this book was edited by Rev Wm Thomas Adey of Haven Green, Ealing and it includes several pieces of his work. The preface mentions Robert Raikes and Rev John Adey.

At the time of the 1891 census William was lving at 49 Mount Park road, Ealing with his wife Sarahanne, his daughters Ellen Eliza, Jessie and Elsie and his sons William and Francis. The family had one domestic servant 19 year old Kate Trelawney from Cranford, Middlesex.

According to a statement by The Baptist Union at this time William was one of 1,473 Baptist Ministers in the UK and one of 30,546 Baptist Ministers in Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia.

The British Library has a copy of a 36 page book Adey's Abbey Guide - Brief history of Kirkstall Abbey from its foundation to its dissolution, published in 1897 by J W Bean & son of Leeds which was almost certainly written by William Thomas.

In December 1899 William presented his daughter Ellen with a bible, the front page includes the following note: To our dear Nelly from her father and mother with their loving wishes for a Happy New Year for herself and her dear ones for the year 1900 - Leighton House, Kingsbridge, England, Dec 1899.

The British Library has a copy of a book written by him in 1903 "All about Kingsbridge & Salcombe. A new and practical illustrated guide". Copies of this book can also be found in the Devon County Council Archives, and in the Museum of English Rural Life (University of Reading) amongst a bundle of papers from Edward Arthur Elliot (Clergyman) 1890 - 1959. In 1889 Frederick Warne & Co published "Sunday School Readings, Recitations and Dialogues" edited by the Rev Wm Thomas Adey of Haven Green, Ealing.

On 13th September 1904 his mothers bible was seized by officers of the law to satisfy a claim under the Education Act which William refused to pay on consientious grounds. His hand written note in the bible states that he believed the demand to be a revival of the old Church Rate under another name. He felt that it was an attempt to bring again the country under the dominion of priestcraft by capturing the children of protestants and nonconformists and exposing them to sacerdotal influence in the schools of the nation. William signed the note in the bible as president of the Local Citizens League. His address at this time was Leighton House, Kingsbridge, Devon.

The 1911 census shows William Thomas Adey (widower, baptist minister), Jessie Louisa Adey (daughter), Elsie Adey (daughter) and Evelyn Hannaford (general domestic servant) living at Leighton House, Kingsbridge.

He was called out of retirement to be Honorary Pastor at Prewett Street, Bristol 1913-1921.

It was faced by two pubs and a shop. Services were held on Sundays at 11.00am and 6.30pm and on Thursdays at 7.30pm.

In 1921 he retired again to Lympstone, Devonshire where the "home-call" came on 5th December 1925. In 2008 a cottage named Leighton Cottage was found in Longmeadow Road, Lympstone, perhaps this is where William lived. There is no trace of the Adey family in Lympstone in Kelly's Directory of Devon 1923 but it is possible that the information was compiled while they were living in Bristol.

The book Memorials of Old Devonshire published in 1904, written by Frederick John Snell, includes a chapter named Peter Pindar; the Thersites of Kingsbridge, which was contributed by the Rev W. T. Adey.

His obituary in the 1927 Baptist Handbook states that he was a preacher of considerable power and always took a leading part in Association work. He retained into his old age his student habits and his keen interest in literature and social movements.

Richard John Adey was sometimes known as John Richard Adey.

At the time of the 1851 census Richard John Adey (aged 21, landowner from Gloucester) was a visitor in a house in Dymock.

The 1861 census shows Richard (occupation farmer) living at Ifold Farm, Painswick with 1 servant.

The Gloucester Journal 28th November 1868 included a birth announcement - Nov 22 at Hould Farm, Painswick, the wife of Mr Richard Adey, of twin sons. It seems likely that this should read Ifold Farm.

At the time of the 1871 census Richard whose occupation is given as farmer was living Moor Villa with his wife Hester and Eliza Bennett.

The 1873 Return of Property Owners for the County of Gloucestershire shows that Richard owned over 62 acres of land in the county worth an annual rent of over £128.

At the time of the 1881 census he lived in Moor Villa with his wife and Eliza Bennett a 37 year old general domestic servant. His occupation is given as retired farmer. Moor Villa was originally built around 1750, it was later called "Moorlands". At some time a fire destroyed the central part of the house which was rebuilt. The house was sold again in the early 2000s and was then renamed Edge Lane House.

At the time of the 1891 census Richard, retired farmer is shown living with his wife and Eliza Bennett at Moor Villa.

According to page 244 of The Painswick Register 1890-1899 John Richard Adey died on 20th May 1896 at his residence Moor Villa, the Edge, where it is believed he had lived more than 20 years. He had previously lived at Highfold Farm (orginally Ifold Farm), which belonged to him, and which for some years he kept in hand. For many years he filled the office of Vicar's Churchwarden at the Edge, and he was on several occasions elected as one of the Painswick Way Wardens. These offices he was obliged to relinquish on account of ill health, and during the last two years he was confined to his house by paralysis.
