Has anybody come across the baptismal record for David Abraham born c 1800 Cowbridge?
-
I can't see one for David but wonder whether this one might be related :-\
Margaret Abraham
Birth 1802
Baptism 24 Jan 1802 Cowbridge Glamorganshire
Parents David and Margaret
Kay

That's what I'm trying to prove Kay. Thanks ;D
-
Yes hard to prove without a Baptism but looks likely to me.
Margaret HARDING/David ABRAHAM as you likely know married 15 Dec 1798 St Bridges Major.
David was of Cowbridge.
Only childreen Bapt Cowbridge I can find for them were;
Margaret 24 Jan 1802
Elizabeth and Ann 30 March 1806
Catherine 26 Nov 1809
(FreeREG)
So definitely space for other children.

Yes Trish. Happened to be into 1851 census and saw David's entry. Checked out the info you have in last message.
Still can prove it!!!
-
Sorry Mike cant prove it either ::)
-
Some you win, some you loose Trish :'(
Maybe it will come out in the wash ;D
-
Possibly to add to the confusion NLW have an 1829 bond for David Abraham,Blacksmith,Cowbridge in which his son David is referred to.According to FreeReg,the David Abraham who died in 1829 was 59 years old.

That could possibly (??? :)) be the best clue.
Like father like son. (Occupation wise)
Thanks Roger
-
the bond says lawful son so I think you can go with that even without a baptism record

On the marriage to Margaret Harding, he signed, she marked, witnesses John David & Joseph Harding
Margaret was buried 26 October 1809. David remarried 2 Nov 1815 in Cowbridge to Ann Turner, spinster.
Age at burial ties in with baptism in Cowbridge 6 Oct 1770 David son of David Abraham & Elizabeth his wife. A sister Anne baptised 24 March 1773
David Abraham of Cowbridge married Elizabeth Llewellin 24 Dec 1769 in Llantrithyd
