William Abraham born 1861
« on: Tuesday 19 February 13 03:07 GMT (UK) »
Hiya,
Trying to locate William Abraham born Merthyr Tydfil 1861, i have him at 15 White Row Merthyr Tydfil in 1901 and 1911 but have failed to find him earlier. Help please his wife was Elizabeth Abraham! i have her as window in 1891 which does not make sense.
Any help most welcome
Thank you in advance
kind regards
Paul Williams
Looking for Williams (Merthyr) and (Briton Ferry), as well as Abraham (Abercanaid)and Gerrard (Dorset and London)

Could this be him? The surname is very squiggly :)  Needs to be followed in the later censuses to try and exclude him or decide he is your man.
