A quick summary...

Frederick George Abberline, son of Edward and Hannah Abberline, was born on 8 January 1843 in Blandford and died 10 December 1929 in Bournemouth.

Frederick was married twice. His first marriage was to Eliza Humberstone or Martha Mackness in 1868 in Islington. She died before the 1871 Census. He then married Emma Beaumont in 1876. Neither of these marriages appear to have produced any children.

Frederick's elder brother - Edward - was born about 1840 in Blandford. He married Ellen (surname unknown) in the early 1870s and died in 1916, age 76.

Edward and Ellen had at least two children:
* Cora, born about 1873 in Chatham
* Edward, born about 1877 in Malta.

Cora appears to have married Harry Lindley in 1896. They had at least two children:
- Harry (c.1898 in Camberwell)
- Edward (1900 in Deptford).

Edward jnr married Lily Beard in 1911 and died in 1946 as a civil casualty of WW2. They had at least three children:
- Violet (1911)
- Grace (1913)
- Edna (1915)
all registered in Lewisham.

So...
Can we find any descendants of these five children?
Their grandfather Edward Abberline was Frederick's elder brother!

I've just spotted two fairly recent death registrations

One was born in 1918 and died 1999 in Lewisham.
The other was born 1929 and died 1989 in Bromley.

Both were sons of Edward Abberline and Lily Beard.

I won't mention their names here out of respect for their families.

Further news!

I have just found someone on GR who has Violet in their family tree. 

I've sent them a message - let's hope they reply!
