OK. Thanks a lot for your help.
Does anyone here know exactly where Mifi! fit into the Abbey family tree?

Hi BumbleB, that is sad news indeed. When you say "click on the profile" what do you mean exactly? I can't see how to do that.
Thanks for your help

Is anyone here still in touch with Mifi! outside this chat? Her inbox here is full, and I can't message her and would like to get in touch with her again.

Just checked that message I sent you-
It was a reference to UK incoming passengers 3 May 1920 HMT "Tagus" list of Russian refugees which included these Abbey folk:
Alfred ABBEY age 56
E. ABBEY (female) not sure if it says 34 or 74 (bit blurry)
William ABBEY age 52
Mrs W. ABBEY age 54
Walter ABBEY age 52
Anna ABBEY age 55
Myfi
I think you'll find it was April 3rd 1920 and the passengers, I believe, were the following:
Alfred Shepherd Abbey (1863-1950) - age 56
Eleanor Abbey (1896-1963) - age 24
William Abbey (1867-?) - age 53
Anna Abbey (William's second wife) - age unknown
Walter George Abbey (1865-1953) - age 55
Matilda Louisa Straus (Walter's wife) - (1867-?) - age 53
Ages do not correspond precisely to what is written on the immigration form, but in those circumstances it is not altogether surprising. Alfred and Eleanor are certain, and the others seem to fit the circumstances.

My great aunt Evelyn Atkinson (nee Abbey) mentions seeing a family photograph of William Abbey (b.1819) and his wife Eleanor Lee in which she says the whole family is present except for the eldest daughter, Louisa (Lilly) who was already married and away from home. She says the photo was taken in about 1873. I think it's the photo that I have attached here, but I'm not sure that the ages tie in. What do you think?

Abbey was an assistant to the estate manager at the estate of Count Pashkov, village Vitoshkino, Sergachskiy uyezd (district), Nizhnegorodskaya guberniya (province). Coordinates N 55° 17' E 45° 03'

Could this be Mathew Lee Abbey (1856-1916) who died in Russia?

@Hillhurst
I've had a look at that link and am still trying to digest all the info there. It's actually quite a difficult decision! I do like the use interface for the online family tree a t Ancestry, I must admit, and I think I might start there for a few months and see how I get on. However, Family Search remains a valuable resource as well.

Actually, I've just started moving on Family Search. I'll check out the link tomorrow (it's late now). Thanks for the pointers!
