Birth and Death lookup - Great name !

[ptdrifter]

Hi all
Doing some research for a friend and having difficulties with one particular gent.

Can't find his birth, death or find him on any census !

His name ?

Frederick Fant Michael Abbott

Born c 1870 possibly in Doncaster or Lincoln area.  Died I think after 1940 around Edgware.

Occupation as stated on second marriage cert "Professional thought Reader"

Fathers name George Patrick Abbott a Surgeon.

Now he should be easy

I have found a photo on the NA site, (" standing upon a subjects body he has reduced to a state of catalepsy").
A book possibly written by him , two patents, two marriages and two divorces, so I have been looking

Have trolled through the BMD's for hours .. help please

are his dad's details the same on the 1893 (Donc) and 1903 (Lincoln) Marriage Certs ?

[ptdrifter]

Sorry have not got the first cert yet

[Necromancer]

any 'interesting' witnesses on the 2nd cert ?

assume his age shown as 33 ish then ?

The only Abbot who is a surgeon on the 1881 census, is Irish looks recently married with 2 very young kids ....

maybe someone else will have an 1871 census with the ability to search on ocupation ....

Hiya Fred

What were his wives names? maybe we can find them in later census and work backwards

you'd think so wouldnt you !

didnt help that they married just after a census !

[ptdrifter]

His wife from 1893 until 1902 was Alice Hawthorne Axe.  

[ptdrifter]

No interesting witnesses, but states father deceased. And I have not found a death for George Patrick Abbott yet either !

[Necromancer]

saw Alice H on the 1891 - born c1863 Donc', but no death record seems to match that age ?

(Was that from your friend as the Cert isnt available ? )

Are you assuming she lived until the year before he remarried ?


PS. Just noticed that her Dad Joseph was a Vetinary Surgeon .... maybe a pre-marriage link to the Abbots ?
