Can anyone complete the final piece of my jigsaw!
It seems that he married an Anne Scantlebury in Hythe Kent 21st Feb 1812.
After that I cannot trace them.
I am descended from his older brother Isaac born 1773.
Would love to know what happened as regards to any children and where they ended up.
Regards.
Michael. :-) :-) :-) :-)

What was Abraham's occupation?

That might help locate them later.

Do you know the names of the witnesses at their marriage?

Thank you everyone.
Perhaps if I follow up on his wife Anne it might throw up some clues.
Up to now there are no findings for her.
Regards.

Michael,

If you would like me to go to the library locally to see if there are filmed parish records, which might help, I'm happy to do that.

Perhaps you could detail what in particular you'd like checked.
