   4. Charles Adams [1834 - buried 8 January 1837 Birmingham St Mary]
   5. William Adams [born 21 October 1836, baptised 27 September 1838 Birmingham St Martin -]
      The 1851 census does not list William, but does list Allen Adams aged 14, occupation "idiot". William is listed as "insane" in the 1861 census.
      There is no record of Allen Adams's birth or christening, and he appears in no other census. I suspect 'Allen' was actually William.
