Thank you, Mo and Darcy your help is much appreciated.

Mo, l think yours could be the one as Mary and Thomas had a son called abraham along with a few others Thomas, william, Richard and my grandfather John, so will search that family further.

Darcy, l will not give up on yours, who knows when doing family history weird things happen ::)

cheers

Thank you for any help.
