Morning Ticker,
thats nice you have got in touch. No progress with this lot.
Not only are they confused so must I be.!! Wrong christian name so will start again.
William Abbey son of Edward Abbey married Sarah Dixon daughter of Francis Dixon 21st May 1871 at Stranton, West Hartlepool, Durham. (I have posted a request for the 1871 census Stranton on a couple of sites including Roots Web but no joy with that). From the census I have the following and I haven't a clue as to where they were born.
1881 22 Alice Street, Stranton.
William Abbey Head 29 bn Wardnewton, York.
Sarah Abbey Wife 28 bn Kilham, York.
William Abbey Son 9 bn West Hartlepool. Durham
Robert Abbey Son 6 bn " "
Walter Abbey Son 3 bn " "
1891 30 Cumberland Street, Stranton.
William Abbey Head 40 bn Lincoln, Lincs
Sarah Abbey Wife 39 bn Yorks, Middlesborough.
William Abbey Son 19 bn Durham, West Hartlepool.
Robert Abbey Son 16 bn " "
Mary Jane Abbey Dau 9 bn " "
Arthur Abbey Son 5 bn " "
Ada Abbey Dau 3 bn " "
1901 Albert Street, West Hartlepool
William Abbey Head 49 bn Lincs Kilham
Sarah Abbey Wife 48 bn Yorks Framton
Mary J Abbey Dau 19 bn Durham West H Pool
Arthur Abbey Son 16 bn " "
Ada Abbey Dau 13 bn " "
Albert Abbey Son 10 bn " "
From that you will see William and Sarah swop places as to who was born where and I cannot make head or tail of it. I did put a request for Edward Abbey and son William on a site for 1851 in Frampton, Lincs. Did get a response but neither were there. I need to rethink all this I suspect.
Is it possible there is a Wardnewton district in York?
Maybe I should try for Francis Dixon in 1851 Frampton, Lincs. I really would appreciate any suggestions.
Many thanks, Waterfall
