Hi Barbara
I've just started to do my family tree in more depth and have found that my great great great granddad was William Abey/Eaby born 1778 married 17 Sept 1801 in Kirton, Lincolnshire and died in March 1835 in Kirton on Lindsey
He married a Elizabeth Marris and had John Abey who im decended from. I've done quiet a bit more on it. Your message was dated March so you may already know this.
If you want to swap trees the please e-mail me, Id be only glad to help
Steve
