Gray/Elliott family

[An65]

Abigail was a name often used in the family. My own great grandad Ambrose had an older sister Abigail who unfortunately died.
Whilst Ambie married within the community his daughter my gran Flo married outside & settled. She died when mum was 11 so mum didn’t really work it out til we started tracing the tree, she knew they worked with horses but that was all really. So, similar story.

Yes I have seen it come up a lot in that tree. I know travellers do have name patterns.

I think our situation was pretty similar. Our Abigail died in her 40s so I think very little information was passed on. That and they have moved to Yorkshire from Lincolnshire and her parents had a few arrests for disorderly behaviour under their belts. Tough lives for them all I guess!

Sorry just realised you said yourself our stories are similar. My eyesight is shocking at the moment.
