I now have their wedding certificate and Abel(Abbott)'s father is listed as Richard Durell, a weaver.
The address for Abel is 10 Cottage Street but I don't know if it is Bethnall Green or Poplar. Mary Ann Becraft's father is John, a sailmaker and her address is 5 Wall Street, presumably Poplar as that is where the wedding took place.
Both are of full age so now I am hoping to find them or their parents on the 1851 or 1841 census or any parish records
---------------------
The PM I sent you with Richard Durell the weaver in 1841..... Abbot's/Abel's father.............Richard does appear a bit on the young side doesn't he?
ABEL DURELL married MARY ANN BECRAFT .........MARCH QTR 1853...POPLAR
Got their in the end
