hi dragon58 i,m researching my family history from Radnorshire .I,ve looked at Presteigne parish records between 1730 to 1810 and could not find a John Abel b.1744 . There was a John Abel b. 1754 who was a brother of my 5 grt grandfather who,s father was a John and mother Ann. elea5or

Hi Elea5or,
Is there a baptism for the John Abel 1754 you mentioned? Or anywhere you know I can get early Presteigne parish records outside of the Record Office?
I'm interested in all early Abels of Presteigne & immediate area.
My line is complicated - my gt gt grandfather was registered at birth (1849) as Edward Thomas, son of Ann Thomas but he was brought up as son of George Roe/Vaughan/Abel & said Ann Thomas, and mostly known as John Abel.

Hi Elea5or,

You & I are on the same route then, though it's been a hard one to deduce! The 1923 death for John in Warwick area is correct as the son of Ann Thomas, he died at Mallory Court, Bishop's Tachbrook. I too think George Vaughan / Roe / Abel are one and the same, and he was certainly brought up as the son of John Abel (if only I knew if he was the biological son!) I have yet to find out where the name Roe came from.

I am also a tad confused by the switching of Abley's Green & Scotland St as residences and a seemingly odd combination of jobs for John Abel, father of George V/R/A - which is why I really need to see the Presteigne registers, just in case I have inadvertently confused two separate John Abels. Also I have different possible interpretations of the earliest Abel generations which need sorting - if possible without marriages to support.

hi fionah In the 1841 census George was down as George Abel b.1828 living in the high st. while the other Abel,s was living in scottleton st. In that family there is a John Abel b.1791 Thomas,s son and an Ann Abel b.1796 dau. of George -Catherine they were first cousin,s  posible marrage i,ll have to check parish reg. Also a Laura Roe Abel mar.1874 presteigne  George,s daughter. There was a family of roe,s in presteigne George could be adopted.
