Hi Mocca:

Just had a look at the photo again.  My great aunt Elsie is the girl third from the left with the big white bow in her hair and my grandfather, George is standing on her immediate right.

To all on this link:

Has anyone started  family tree that we could each add our personal links to?  Has anyone got any old family photos they could publish on this site?

Hello Everyone

I think I remember being told that there were two other brothers called Luke and John in this family. Does anyone know whether this is so and also whether there are other brothers and sisters? Was Matthew the only one who went to Russia or did others go too.

Regards

Hello Mocca,

My notes show Matthew had five brothers and three sisters.
Thomas b.1777, Ann b.1778 Mary and Joseph (twins) b.1780,
Sarah b.1783 d. 1784, Luke b.1787 and Robert  b.1788.

No mention of a John. I do not know if any went to Russia.

Any help?
Regards ,
Fel.

Hello,
I see you have Eliza Helen Scotson mentioned amongst the posts - she was my grandmother Antoinette`s sister.I know she married a George Abbey but that is about all I know, so any information about her life would be very acceptable.
Thank you.

Hi Fel
Thanks for that information - it certainly gives us a bit more background to Matthew. In a previous post ,Tiggertwo mentions aWilliam Abbey born 1733 at Wistow, nr Selby. Do you think that this is Matthew and Mark's father, although she says that he had thirteen children ?

Kind regards
Mocca

Hi Mocca,

I have Matthew's father as William b.1752,m.1776 to Hannah Wright b. 1755, this William's father as William b.1709 d.1793, m. Elizabeth Miller b.1715 d.1790.

I don't think the William b. 1733 fits in the age group, as I think William's b.1709 first child was Robert b.1745

Kind regards,
Fel
