Shropshire / Re: Market Drayton Bap. Henry Abbots 1822. 2 daddies?

Hi LLoydy. Re your suggestion Henrys illegitimacy. Ive looked at a huge amount of Henry baptisms with just a mothers name. I then checked  the  mothers surnames with Abbots marriages but there were no matches. I was glad of your suggestion so many thanks for your thoughts. Its possible the answer is in the parish registers that are not online yet. However I'll keep on trying and if I ever solve this problem you'll be the first to know! Thanks again

This is interesting thank you. Yes the Henry in Bog Hall is mine. Surprised Bog Hall is still there I wonder if its history is farming. I see there is a gap of 23 years between the John and Sarah you found. It appears they had 2 daughters 1830 and 1831. I think perhaps Henry is not on the internet but I will keep searching. Fingers crossed. Many thanks once again.

Their children are Emma(who had no children) and Eliza (who m.Henry Jackson) their children are Mary-Ann,Emma-Jane,George and Albert Henry) As you can see I tried their grandchildren too We're obviously thinking on parallel lines.Today I tried the nearest five parishes to Crickmery on Hugh Wallis and Family Search sites but found nothing. I did see a Mary Abbots b.1830 Hinstock she seems to be on 1841 census index but I dont have access to that. Henry is also working in Hinstock 1841. I wondered if they were related. As I said yesterday I'm grasping at straws !
What more can I say other than a huge huge "Thank You"
Regards

You are so kind....Thank you. Yes I agree with Crickmery 1851. In 1891 he also gives pob. as Wistans Wigg which I think is Winstanswick. !841 hes in Bog Hall nr Hinstock. These places are close to each other thats why I thought of Hodnet parish. !871 and 1881 he gives pob. as Ercall Magna. Ive checked the very good "Ercall Magna A Journey in Tme" site but he doesnt appear to be there either. Like you said its back to the drawing board for me. A huge thank you.

Many many thanks! I was so worried about wasting your time re the wrong Abbots family. But The positive is I can now rule Hodnet out so thats a big plus for me. Thank you. I will obviously have to search in wider area although Henry does appear to spend his life around this part of Shropshire. I wondered if there was an Abbots family on the 1841 census around the Hodnet area that he may have belonged to? As you can see I'm now grasping at straws..I too love a challenge. Gold star for you.

Ooh, Hope I can catch you before you go searching today . Thomas and Frances Abbots are the parents of another Henry Abbots and is the wrong family. Sorry this information is on my old link which I thought you had read. I'm devastated to think of you using your precious time. If anyone can contact Lloydy will they please let her know about this post.....

Sorry to see you are unable to go to the records office today. I do hope you're ok.
Just had a thought re. parentage of Henry Abbots on my previous request. If Henry was illegitimate he wouldnt be entered with that surname. As Henry is a fairly unusual name I would be interested if any other Henrys appear around 1823. Perhaps his mother married an Abbots later...just a thought. Many many thanks.

Hi Lloydy. Yes I wondered about Frances too but both Henrys seem rather close in age. Ive checked their ages with d.o.d. and this verifies one b. 1822 and one b.1823 not impossible I know. Im still hopeful that the answer is in the Hodnet parish register .Many thanks for your time already.

Oh thank you so much for your interest. I didnt want to weigh you down with too much information and didnt want you to waste your time going over what i'd found. My mind is boggled too !!
Marriage certificate-  Hodnet parish church 28 January 1851. Henry Abbotts, full age, bachelor, residence Peplow, Fathers name Piercy Pace Shopkeeper. Bride  Mary Corser residence Peplow father William. Witnesses William Corser and Jane Prichard

As you see I followed the wrong Henry Abbots for a time!
Yes there is a Piercy Pace shopkeeper in Hodnet around 1822. Ive also searched the Pace Family History site on Google. There is a Piercy Pace on there b. 1779 ish that might fit and the younger one born the same year as Henry.
I'm so very grateful for your help
