Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: Looking For John Ablett please help

Hi Jodie
The Ablett family of Boston Lin's & Cobh Co Cork were my late grandmothers parents. My Nan, "Margaret Ablett" was one of their daughters. John Ablett's family were actually of French origin, hence it's unlikely you'll ever find an official English link that goes back beyond John. His family/grand parents were butchers from Marseilles France & they moved to England in post French revolution years, when they were thrown from their business & home as being sympathisers of the French monarch. In actual fact they were simply the equivalent of modern day capitalists trying to run a business & get by but of course the last thing the socialists of the revolution wanted around was any businesses from the pre-revolution years. So English asylum they sought & was granted, although they had to go & live in Boston Linc's (in those days where very few others would live).
Hope this helps
