http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/archivianet/passenger/index-e.html - passenger lists are here but unfortunately not indexed. You could narrow it down by looking for only ships from Liverpool-Quebec (still a lot, though!).

http://bibnum2.bnquebec.ca/bna/lovell/index.html - Abel doesn't appear in the Montreal directories as far as I can see.
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/canadiandirectories/ - nor any Foxall/Foxell here.

Quebec birth records for this time would all be church records, so it can be difficult to find anything without knowing where exactly people lived.

http://www.ingeneas.com/ingeneas/index.html - it would be worth paying to find the details of the entry here for Abel Foxall, see what else it has for him.

They'll probably take a UK credit card, but I'd email them first to make sure.
