In 1914 Moscow address book:

Alfred and Eleonora Abbey living 14, Voznesenskaya street

[seamike]

Also, in 1916 Moscow address book:

Abbey Walter Vas. (Vasilievich) at 1st Znamenskiy lane and M.V. Abbey at Station Bashilovka

Hello Seamike

I must try to find out to which branch of the Abbey family Alfred and Eleonora from Vosnezhensky belong to. All Abbeys are related. Walter Abbey from Znamensky 1 is related to me and same person who once lived in Samara and later in Moscow and got out of Russia for England with his family.

Hello All:

Sitting in an airport lounge so very quick response.

My great uncle Alfred was married to Nell.  Could this be a short version of Eleanora?  They ended up in the UK living in the Midlands.  He is one of the boys in the family photo taken in Russia.  I'm en route back to my home in South Africa where I have my files so may be
able to check that street address.

Yes, I would say that Nell is one short version of Eleonora. I've been in Moscow found the site where Walter lived at Znamensky 1 (Street name has been changed since). The other address where Alfred and Eleonora lived exist no longer because new streets and houses have been built there. Anyway it is not far from where Moscow Dynamo stadium is today.

Sorry for mixing up addresses!

It is  M.V Abbey's Bashilovka address, which I ment. That site and Abbey House there has vanished and was not far from where Moscow Dynamo stadium is now.

Voznesenskaya address I have not been aware of.
