Thanks Jimmy. There’s a lot to sort out there. I know Abraham and Elizabeth had a son Abraham in 1847. He died in 1851 and in 1852 they christened there next son Abraham so that will account for some of the multiple entries for Abraham Hart. Their daughter Eliza later had a son who she called Abraham too so it was obviously a strong family name so that may account for a couple of other entries if other family members also used the name. It’s making me think that maybe Abraham ( who married Elizabeth) was named after his father. He was born in Westminster in 1819 so I need to search around there.
Ps- I’ve linked all the other Abraham’s now. Abraham and Elizabeth had 2 sons called Abraham. One died aged 4, the other aged 33. Of their other sons, Henry had 2 sons called Abraham, both died in infancy.. John also had a Abraham who also died in infancy. So sad. I think I would have given up on that name, bad omen. But I’ve now accounted for all the Abraham Harts. Thank you for your help
