Find Ancestors

I really do need a Ancestry look up.i know i can easily do it on freebmd but ime a bit crap with maths,& ohhhh the stress of it,please can some-one find death deatails for Richard Abbott,he was born 1882 and was still alive when his father died in 1934....the family are from the durham darlington area & at times Yorkshire, my gt grandad (richards brother) came to salford and layed down his roots...i would be grateful to any help thanks

Several possibilities but more info needed to try to decide which one.

Where exactly was he born?

Did he have any other name?

Did he marry and if so do you know his wifes forename(s)?

Did he have a middle name?

No Middle name....i Dont know if he married....i know that all three of the brothers were sea men in the merchant navy...and all were alive in after 1934....there are two birth entries for Richard Abbott,but i dont know which is mine....his father was Samuel Abbot born 1858,occupation a butchert & Mother Elizabeth living in darlington durham in1891.....richard is not on the 1901 with his parents,and i have never found him since the 1891 census....

Please, cane, remove the 4-letter word.

You are letting yourself down by using it

Richard Abbott abt 1882 Apr-May-Jun 1954 Thrapston Northamptonshire

Richard Abbott abt 1882 Jan-Feb-Mar 1963 Hull Yorkshire East Riding

This is the family in 1881. On Richards merchant Seaman records he gives his birth place as Layter so it could be Layton..

He gives his birth date on his records as 31st August 1882 so if his birth was registered in the 4th to the 6th week after his birth this may be it.

Cane,

Basically speaking it appears as if other than spotting him on the 1891 census you do not know a great deal about Richard Abbott. You state that he was alive in 1934 when his father died. Does that mean that he was the informant on his father's death registration or is it a family story that he attended his father's funeral or was a beneficiary of his father's estate?

You also state that he and his brothers served in the merchant navy. Have you considered the possibility that if he were still a merchant seaman between 1939~1945 that he may, like so many other merchant seamen, have perished during WW2?

t hanks Ramblingrose,yes that is the correct info for 1891. <3
The boys mother (also ) named Elizabeth ann abbott (nee caile) died 1884,samuel remarried Eliazbeth the second
thanks Astra <3
Hi joensey....thank you...But i have samuels will & probate....that was how i discovered that Richard was still alive...No i hadnt thought about that scenario,suppose its worth thinking about...
Thanks every-one
Ahhhh....Reggie,my dear man,i certanly dont feel ashamed by the four letter word that i used....i was in that kinda mood..... :-P....take care Reggie :-) :-) & thanks for the birth details :-)

Dear Astra.....i am interested in Richards merchant navy record,what else is there...

The Will only proves that Richard was alive when it was drawn up.............not that he was around when it came into force. Unless he was one of the named executors and he fulfilled the function.

And the 'birth' details I posted were DEATHS.

You asked for his death - I would hardly bother looking for birth info

Who was the idiot who rr'd this because cane used the word "crap"? According to my Websters Dictionary crap means nonsense or junk.

There are two records for him neither of which contain much information although luckily there is a photograph of him on the earlier record. The first is for 1918 to 1921 and the second is 1921 to 1942.
I will attach them to a PM for you.

I have also found one for Charles which has a pic on so I will send that too.

Can't locate anything for George.

sorry Astra i read your P M...before reading this...x

ermmm..please may i ask who is responsible for having my "ASK" being put up for request.....if it was yoU "REGGIE" please can you use your so called "GOOD" manners and have this corrected......THANK YOU :-| :-|

thank you Margee...i totally agree with you

Any thoughts on the comments I made about the Will?

I will be looking into your comment made at 15.45...
