  Notes	1841 census: not found. There are only 5 pages of census data for Luddenham: the Madams family do not appear on any of them. The address 'Holby Shore' (c/f Hallow Stone in 1851) was occupied by the Tritton family. 1851 census (indexed as MADARMS by ancestry.com): at Hallow Shone (?), Luddenham, Kent, Thomas (47, shipwright), Elizabeth (40), Charles (22, shipwright), Affra (20), Thomas (18 apprentice), Esther (9), Ann (8), William (3), Harriett (1) and Henry MADAMS (nephew, 9, born Sheerness). The Elizabeth A MADAMS (8) who in 1851 was with her grandparents, probably died in Q1 1855 (Faversham 2a/452). A second Elizabeth A(nn) appears in the 1861 census - see below. From the ages and birthplaces of the first 3 children it looks as if Thomas was married to someone before Elizabeth Minter but no trace of the earlier marriage has been found. Feb 2007: Trevor Gosling has identified the first marriage, which took place in 1826. 1861 census: at the Shipwrights Arms, Luddenham, Kent, Thomas (54, publican), Elizabeth (49, publican's wife), Esther (18, publican's daughter), Ann (17, publican's daughter), William (13, scholar), Harriett (11, scholar), Emma (9, scholar), Elizabeth A (5, scholar) and George MEASDAY (22, visitor, shipwright). Esther was to marry George MEASDAY in Q4 1861. 1871 census: at the Shipwrights Arms, Luddenham, Kent, Thomas (65, ship carpenter) and Elizabeth (59). June 2007. Trevor Gosling writes: 'I organised a 'Gosling' reunion which took place last month in Maidstone. (88 attendees). On the following day a group of us went to the Shipwright Arms in Luddenham where William and Elizabeth lived and worked. The pub doesn't look as it had changed much since Thomas kept it. I've got photo's if you are interested.'
