Find Ancestors

The only census I can find for an Abigal and William Morgan is 1851 but she was living with her brother on that census, so can't be her.

Perhaps if it was a seafaring community then William may also have been a mariner and they went elsewhere?

Thank you Prickles and MC for the '51 cencus - 'Abigal Thrope' !! - No wonder I couldn't see it ;-) :-D :-D

The marriage cert might help - William's occupation could give some hints.

How do you know for sure that she married William Morgan?

Can someone post that 1851 please - I can't find it ??

Hello

She was born about 1826 St Johns New Brunswick Canada. On 1851 census she lived with her brother ( mariner from Canada) and his family in Liverpool. I have her marriage (found on family search) but no trace of her after this.

Regards

Lorraine

Hello Lorraine, what else do you know about Abigail?

We need an age for a start - when was she born?

Could you explain what you mean by the census information being different? In what respect?

Where does Abigail Thorpe go to after she married William Morgan in Liverpool 1851? She was born in New Brunswick Canada. The only william and abigail Morgan I can find are living in Wales but the census information is different.
Any help appreciated

Lorraine
