can anyone do a look up for me Abraham England.... had two sons in 1853 george and 1855 frank. They both say on 1881 census they were born in banwell somerset but there is no record of this franks marriage certificate says his father was abraham. I assume he would be around 20 at this time. i do not know if there are any other siblings. Thanks...

No Abraham England in Banwell 1851. The only family with this name were step children to a John and Priscilla Brawley so presumably Priscilla's first marriage was England. This is all I found........ BRAWLEY?? John 45 Baker Shapwick Priscilla 33 wife Hereford Leonardine?? ENGLAND William stepson 10 scholar Oxford. ENGLAND Walter stepson scholar Shipham Som. BRAWLEY Alberta daughter 1 at home Shipham. TUTTON John 15 servant Baker Banwell No other ENGLAND in the surrounding area. If I can look anywhere else for you please ask, Marion

Hi Marion. Thanks for your help. I think that might England may nothave been born in banwell, even though they both think they were ?? as they seem to be in no BMD records for that area. Abraham must be alive until at least late 1870's as he is not shown as deceased on franks marriage certificate...but thanks for trying.

Would another kind soul be able to do an easier complete 1851 Som.look-up for all the Abraham ENGLAND in Somerset for Catherine. My cd's don't have a good overall index and I can only look up one place at a time which is time consuming. Marion
