Shannie - It certainly does appear that some of the details fit - however I too am not sure as I believe that the Abraham in my family tree (Son of William and Rhoda) was born much later - somewhere around 1850. William and Rhoda were not married until 1832 but this doesn't always mean much - but they did have another child that they called Abraham around 1850. In the 1851 census he is listed as being only 9 months old. If you scroll back on this thread you will see that in the 1841 census there was a child aged 11 present called Abraham in this household. As Tati suggested it looks like this child might be a relative- and she lists some possible parents.
The IGI is the International Genealogical Index and can be found at
www.familysearch.orgThis site generally is a great resource - but you have to confirm the information it holds as sometimes people submit data that it not accurate- although I think the IGI comes directly from transcriptions from parish records.
Do you have a confirmed birth date for your Abraham? If you have been told that his parents were William and Rhoda - then it is possible that it is the child that was born around 1850.
I would love to keep in contact - as it seems highly probable that we are looking at the same family - even if the specific line varies a little.
My lot - Richard Lucas and his wife moved to Australia in 1862. He was my great, great grandfather. I actually have a picture of him and his wife - but not of his parents.
I still live in Western Australia in Perth - some 600 km from where Richard and his family settled.
