Frank moved between Quakers and Methodists throughout his life, was active in various peace movements and supported a chapel on a "problem estate". At the age of 18 he started the Cripples Parlour in Ealing and the activities of the Ealing branch of the Shaftesbury Society's Cripple Mission were also resuscitated and organised by him. In the 1930s Frank lived in Cheshire at 18 Longsight Lane, Cheadle Hulme and 74 Torkington Road, Hazel Grove, he worked for Manchester public libraries including the Central Reference Library, Manchester. He devoted a great deal of time to Wesley Street Sunday School where he was made superintendent and he was the organising secretary of the Joint Disarmament Week in Manchester when speakers included the Lord Mayor of Manchester and the Bishop of Manchester. During the 2nd World War Frank served in India where he met his cousin Edward Anthony Adey in a hospital. In approx 1950 he moved to 11 Torrisholme Road, Lancaster and he was deputy librarian at Lancaster. Whilst living in Lancaster he supported the Methodist Church and Youth Centre at Torrisholme, then Clarendon Park Methodists where Don English and other students attended. He later became one of the Presidents of the Methodist Conference. Later the family moved to 37 New Way Road, Leicester and Frank worked at Leicester Polytechnic Library (later renamed de Montfort University), further moves took them to 47 Kirby Lane, Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire and Finchcroft Lane, Prestbury near Cheltenham. Following his retirement Frank was involved with Toc H and carried out a great deal of Adey family history research which forms the basis of this work, He was a member of the Bethesda Methodist Church, Cheltenham. The British Library has a copy of A Cotswold Methodist Heritage : 250 years in and around Winchcombe written by Frank C Adey and published in 1979 by Winchcombe Methodist Church. |
