My ABBAY/ABBEY family went to Russia c.1838 !!

It would seem that Thomas Pollock married Mary Elizabeth Abbey in St. Petersburg.
Can anyone confirm that?

Wow! Thank you for that! You wouldn't by any chance be able to help me with another marriage date:
William Goffe (b.1856) And Louisa (Lily) Abbey (b.1854). In Russia too.

Sorry, I searched both bride and groom names. No marriage record found in that Ancestry collection.
Looking for anyone else?

[Ashtone]

Is this their daughter? Image indicates mother's maiden name is Abbey. Baptism place: Gomel.

Lilly Alice Goffe b 21 Dec 1884 bp 23 Mar 1886 Russia
Father:   William Goffe
Mother:   Louisa Goffe

Other Russian marriage records from this Ancestry collection include:

1851 - William Abbey to Eleanor Lee (6 witness names, inc Mathew Abbey and Susan Abbey).
1862 - George Hairbank Abbey to Sophie Ehren

[Tarquille]

Thanks for that, again.
Yes, Lilly Alice Goffe is their second daughter. Their first one was born 10 years earlier, I believe: Eleanore Emma Goffe.
William Abbey and Eleanor Lee is my direct line.
George Fairbanks (not Hairbank) Abbey is also in my line, although not direct.
Thanks for your help. I'll post here again if I get stuck!

Hillhurst, are these records that can be searched with a paid Ancestry.com subscription? I have my tree there, but am only a "registered guest" and not a paid member. I'm currently thinking of joining as a paid member in order to have access to these resources.

Hillhurst, I tell you what would be really useful if the information is available, the birth dates of the seven children of  William Abbey (1819) and Eleanor Lee (1825) - married in St. Petersburg, Russia on 26 Sep 1851.  Louisa, William, Mathew Lee, Mary Elizabeth, John William, Alfred Shepherd, Walter George.
I have dates for all of them but they do not seem to coincide with a family photo that I have, and I feel one or two may actually be wrong.
