Sue,
Sorry if you know this already
Do you know if there were siblings ?
If so who was the father of the siblings ?
Do you know how to use the Batch number on IGI then enter just the fathers name in the search part ?
That will give you the names of people baptised in that church for each father's name (there may have been more than one with the same name).
Then look at naming patterns through the generations - not very scientific but a fair indication, especially if a name like Abraham is repeated.
Laborious, but check census returns for each possible sibling - you might get lucky and find a 'visitor' that you recognise.
A visit to the churchyard where Abraham or his offspring were buried might be a good idea.
good hunting
