Title: Birth Look up please for Abraham Arkwright c 1788
Post by: Julieam on Sunday 20 February 11 23:24 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Would anyone be able to direct me or help me find some information on the above gentleman.  Information I have todate is;
Abraham Arkwright born 1788c -( born Manchester I believe) married a Mary Thomson of Aylesworth, Bucks and they had two children both born in Aston Warwickshire, John c 1829 and Richard c1831.

I am looking for information on both Abraham's siblings and parents if possible please?

Appreciate any guidance on this as I am totally stuck on this one now.

Thanks,
Julie

For information Abraham was 53 on the 1841 census (Abraham Ackratt) and 63 on on the 1851 census (Abraham Askratt) and was a Blacksmith by trade -

1841 HO107/1148/2 Folio 13 page 18. 
1851 HO107/2060 Folio 64 page 57.

It also looks like they may have had a son Abraham who was aged 16 on the 1841 census.
