I thought it best to post the following information here for anyone researching the Abbot(s) of Beverley. In an attempt to trace my family tree I needed to figure out who all the Abbott(s) were in Beverley.

The following covers the 1751 to 1851 time period.

Sorry about the formatting. Single full dates are baptism (+church). MI = moumental inscription number (Minster or Queensgate cemetery).

There appear to be 3 sets of Abbott(s) in Beverley...

================================================================

I have the parish record for the marriage between...
(112) Mary Abbott daughter of John Abbott (inn keeper) and
(22) Thomas Abbott (mariner) and father Jonathan Abbott (mariner)...
on 13-Oct-1849, which is why I think the father named in the baptism of Thomas (16-May-1823) is incorrect.

I hope this helps future researchers.

I'm a little late to this thread...

From "monumental inscriptions" Beverley Queensgate cemetery...
"In loving memory of ANN the beloved wife of JOHN ABBOTT who died January 31st 1881 aged 60 years. Also JOHN ABBOTT who died March 16th 1890 aged 74 years" .... "In loving memory of KETURAH ANN only daughter of JOHN and KETURAH ANN ABBOTT and granddaughter of the above who died at Hull Nov 5th 1884 aged 3 years 6 months. Dear mother's grave. Our little KATIE"

Note sure what/who the last part refers to.

John Abbott (b.1753 Beverley is my 3rd grt gf), but not seem related to these other Abbotts (possible from a much earlier common relative???).

Hope this info is useful.

Confused me even more now Helen Sue. If I was to order the marriage certificate For John Abbott and Ann for 1839 do you know the No for it, I can't find it in the bmd only the Yorkshire one that you gave me and it dosn't give me one.

Helen That does seem to add up dosn't it as he was born Saint Mary and Saint Nicholas, and I have just found a bap for Ann Beaumont 1820 in Saint Mary and St Nicholas with father called Abraham, so if I go to record office and look at this wedding in Hull it should have fathers on it, do you think I can say that we have the right one

Can't find the marriage yet but there is definately an Ann Gray of the right age in the right place... ANN GRAY Christening: 02 APR 1822 Saint John And Saint Martin, Beverley, Yorkshire, England Parents: Father: EDWARD GRAY Mother: ANN Batch No C106621

Two of their sons had middle name of Gray also one of their grandchildren, never thought of that been a maiden name of Ann

William's baptism WILLIAM GRAY ABBOTT Christening: 28 FEB 1840 Saint Mary And Saint Nicholas, Beverley, Yorkshire, England Parents: Father: JOHN ABBOTT Mother: ANN Batch No C106581

1841 census.Ann Abbott abt 1821 Yorkshire, England St Nicholas Yorkshire John Abbott abt 1816 Yorkshire, England St Nicholas Yorkshire William Abbott abt 1840 Yorkshire, England St Nicholas Yorkshire

that's the one Helen from 1851

Can you post what information you have found please. Have you got John & Ann on a Census? I can see an Ann (Mariners wife) in 1851 who's husband is away from home. The eldest son is 11, William Gray Abbott. If this is the family you are tracing I would think Gray could be Ann's maiden name? Also he could have been born before the marriage? Births Jun 1840 Gray William Beverley 23 1

Helen I never thought of that. thankyou

The only John Abbott I can see in Beverley 1841 is not married (the one with Dad and Grandad also John?) Have you found something I didn't?

You could order the certificate for the 1840 child? then you would know mother's maiden name.

Thankyou for your time. How would I know for def if that was the one in Hull?

Found this one which you have probably seen. In ths case of one of my relatives the spouse was listed over the page and didn't appear until I sent for the certificate Surname First name(s) District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Dec 1841 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABBOTT John Beverley 23 1 ARNOTT Emma Beverley 23 1 BEILBY Robert Beverley 23 1 HALL Jane Beverley 23 1 NEWCOMBE William Beverley 23 1 ROSS Catherine Beverley 23 1 THOMPSON George Beverley 23 1 WELBURN Aley Beverley 23 1
