Title: Huw Abel of Neston
Post by: cymraes on Tuesday 28 September 04 20:24 BST (UK)

Hello there,
I am trying to find out about a new branch I have found. I have a Hugh Abel who was born around 1838 in Neston, Cheshire, according to the 1881 census, when he was living in Oldham. He had a wife, Catherine, who, it is said, came from Kilkenny. Any light anyone could throw on the subject would be most gratefully received,
Thanks

Unfortunatly they are not showing up on the 1841 although I feel that they must be there, either I have missed them or they were on a page that was not readable.

 :De Thank you for your prompt replies, which were very helpful.  Ellen, Huw's wife. has changed her place of birth to Ireland by 1881 however.
