Happy New Year to All Out There
Trying to find the the family of a John Abbott born 1838 Ironville Derbyshire and his wife as I belive to be Rebecca Davis born 1843 in Kirkstall Forge Leeds Yorks.
I keeping finding the family but keep finding Middlesboro and Hull coming into it, I believe the Davis family originated from Tipton in the West Mids.
