The Abram Family of Cheshire
Research on the Blake family was initially conducted between September 2003 and April 2004. During this research, it was
discovered that an ancestor, Richard Thompson Blake, had married into the Abram family of Oxton, Cheshire.
Richard Thompson Blake, the 3rd great grandfather of Michael Gregory, married Janet Abram in Prescot in 1853:

Witnesses:

Geo M Bruce
Robert Abram Welsh
Two of the witnesses were presumably relations of Janet Abram, who was under age1.
Janet’s father was Ralph Abram, gentleman. He would probably have been born before 1815, as Janet was around 19-20
years of age at her marriage in 1853.
Janet had married Richard Thompson Blake in 1853. In the 1881 census, she was a widow of 17 Paradise Row, Chester.2
Her husband had died in 1880.
It is interesting to note that Ralph Abram Blake the son of Richard Thompson Blake and Janet Abram, married Mary
Catherine Thomas of Oxton3. The family was therefore likely to have been settled in Oxton, Cheshire and it is from here
that a search for the birth of Janet, and of her parents’ marriage, could commence.
Contact was made in 2005 with a cousin in America, Jo Ann Welch. Her great grandmother was Michael Gregory’s great
great great grandmother, Janet Blake, nee Abram. Jo Ann had a photograph (reproduced below) of Janet Blake taken in
1876 when she was aged ca 43 years old.
The Abram family might be found in the 1851 census. This census is now available to be searched online at
www.ancestry.co.uk. The Index can be freely searched and records are downloadable for a small fee. A very interesting
entry was found which may include details of Michael Gregory’s ancestral relatives:

The Ralph Abram who is listed in the entry above has a daughter called Janet who was born in 1833 (the same year as
deduced from earlier research). What is even more interesting is that in the Census, Ralph Abram had a son called George
Perry Abram. The Janet Abram and Richard Thomas Blake who were ancestors of Michael Gregory had a son called
George. According to Jo Ann Welch, this George’s full name was George Perry Abram Blake. The coincidence of names
in these two families makes it almost certain (although
verification is needed) that the 1851 census entry is for the
family of Michael Gregory’s ancestors. There should be
various sources to prove or disprove this theory.
It is also interesting to note that in the 1851 census the wife of
Ralph Abram is not listed on the entry. Ralph’s youngest son
was Edward Abram born 1841. It might be surmised that
Mary therefore died (she could have been somewhere else on
the day of the census, but this is unlikely) somewhere between
1841 and 1851. Official records of births, marriages and
deaths began in 1837, so it should be possible to find her in the
records of deaths. A death certificate might provide more
details about her, including the cause of death, exact date she
expired, her maiden name and possibly where she was born.
This will provide clues as to her origins.
If the 1851 census entry is the correct one for Michael
Gregory’s ancestor, then Ralph Abram’s eldest daughter was
Ellen, born in Everton. At the time of Ellen’s birth, Ralph was
44 years old. His eldest daughter was 22 at the time of the
census. Therefore Ralph probably married around 1829 in one
of the Liverpool parishes. Given his age, perhaps it was his
second marriage, and maybe his wife was much younger than
him. His age and the fact that he seemingly had children into
his fifties is worrying, but checks in the records will clarify
this. Once his wife’s name is obtained, it will probably be
possible to trace the family further back.
A number of tasks would be useful to assist in further tracing the family:

1851, and obtain death certificate
Locate in the BMD the birth of Arthur Abram, born 1839 in Liverpool, the son of Ralph Abram; and of
Edward Abram, born 1841, the son of Ralph Abram, and obtain certificates. These may give the name of the
mother and an address to search in the 1841 census
The 1841 census should be searched for all Abrams living in Liverpool and the surrounding district
Ralph Abram’s wife might be called Perry or perhaps Kimmer (the middle names of two of the Abram
children). He may have had two wives, one of each name. Check for any wills or Admon of Ralph Abram
between 1851 (when he was recorded in the 1851 census still living) and 1885 when he would have been 100
years old if he had survived that long (which would of course have been unlikely in the 19 th century)
The online BMD Index4 was searched. Arthur Abram, the son of Ralph Abram, was not found in the Index (which dates
from 1837), although he was born in 1839. However, an Edward Abram was found:

The family was living in West Derby, and this is likely to be the Edward being searched for. A copy of the birth certificate
should be obtained. The baptism could also be searched for in the Parish Registers.

Ancestry.co.uk is a subscription-based online service offering various family history related search facilities. In a related
search in passing, an entry was noted in the online version of the 1825 Liverpool Directory5 which referred to a Ralph
Blake, gentleman of 23 Moss Street. There was also a reference to a Mrs Catherine Abram of 23 Springfield Street. As will
be seen later, the reference to a Catherine Abram and Moss Street may have relevance to the family been researched. The
page also referred to a William Abram, gentleman of Devonshire Place, Everton and to a Peter Abram, Victualler, Letters,
and wholesale and retail spirit dealer of 24 Union Street. As yet, there is no connection of these latter two names to the
family which is the ancestry of Michael Gregory.
In 2004, a Will had been downloaded from the digitized Wills available online at the UK National Archives. This was of a
Ralph Abram. Now that further information was available about the family, the Will was re-examined more closely to
ascertain if this Ralph Abram was the possible ancestor of Michael Gregory. In the Will, Ralph Abram was described as a
Salt Merchant. He is certainly the man who was found living in the 1851 census in Everton, and is the ancestor of Michael
Gregory. This conclusion is drawn from a number of interesting facts in the Will. The one disappointment in the Will,
though, is that, whilst there are named references to his servants and colleagues, he does not mention any of his family by
name.
The convincing reason that the Will is of the Ralph found in the 1851 census is that in the census, he recorded in his
household an Elizabeth Poole, servant. In fact, this Elizabeth could clearly read and write, for she is a signatory as a witness
to a codicil to his will made in 1848. Her name, Elizabeth Poole is given, with her status as a servant to the Testator. In the
Will, there are references to a George Peter Perry of Liverpool as a Trustee, Executor and Guardian of Ralph’s children in
the event of the latter’s death. George Perry was described as a book-keeper. It was wondered if he might be an in-law of
Ralph, given the importance of the duties being entrusted to him. One of Ralph Abram’s children was called George Perry
Abram (born ca 1835). A son of Janet Blake6 another of Ralph’s children married to Richard Thompson Blake was also
called George Perry Abram Blake. This iteration of names (some of which are not common names) is too unusual to be
coincidental. The theory that Ralph married a woman whose name was Perry was further strengthened with the discovery of
an entry in the International Genealogical Index compiled by the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints and available
online:
IGI Individual Record
Marriage

A copy of the entry in the Parish register was obtained to verify the accuracy of this index entry. it looks as though Michael
Gregory may be descended from a Perry family living in Liverpool in the early 19th century. Mary Ann Perry is possibly the
sister of George Peter Perry. An entry was found for George Peter Perry in the 1851 Census. He was born in Liverpool in
1800:

Returning to the Will of Ralph Abram: in the document, he is described as a Salt Merchant of West Derby nr. Liverpool in
the County of Lancaster. He made a number of codicils in 1848, 1849 and on 29 December 1852. He was probably close to
death in 1852 and he died certainly died very soon after, as the Will was Proved on 14 June 1853. Interestingly, the Will
was proved in front of an Honourable Thomas Blake, Doctor of Laws. Could this Thomas Blake have been a relative
through Ralph’s daughter, Janet, who married into the Blake family? Ralph’s death certificate should be obtained.
At the time of his death, Ralph lived in Moss Street, West Derby. He also seemed to live intermittently at Brougham
Terrace in West Derby. The Wills and Codicils run to 6 pages. On the BMD Index, a reference was found to the death of a
Ralph Abram:

Death
Abram, Ralph
December qtr 1852
West Derby, Lancashire
Vol. 8b Page 251
This is almost certainly the death of the Testator Ralph Blake referred to above, and the death certificate should be obtained.
Two further references to Wills were discovered in the National Archive digital collection. These were for another Ralph
Abram proved in 1814 and of an Elizabeth Abram, a widow, whose Will was proved in 1857. A copy of each of these Wills
was downloaded and examined. In the Will of Elizabeth Abram, she refers to having been left a Trust by her husband,
which she bequeathed to her daughter Mary Ann. It was common then to refer to a daughter in law as a daughter.
Interestingly, if this Elizabeth was the wife of the father of Ralph Abram (born 1785), Mary Ann could have been her
daughter in law. This is only a wild proposition at this stage in the research. The wording of the Will, however, (see below)
seems to run counter to this idea:
“This is the last Will and testament of me Elizabeth Abram of Liverpool in the County
of Lancaster widow. I appoint, give and bequeath to my daughter Mary Ann ----- Jones
out of the funds subject to the trusts of the settlement made on the death of my
marriage with her father the sum of five thousand pounds and I appoint, give and
bequeath the residue of the said -----to my son David ------ Jones and I give ---- and
bequeath all the residue of my estate to my daughter absolutely and I appoint my said
daughter and my friend Robert --- of Liverpool aforesaid Doctor of Medicine Executrix
and Executor of my will in witness – I have signed this my will on this fourth day of
July One thousand eight hundred and fifty six……..”
The Will of the other Testator, however, is much more interesting. This is the Will made by Ralph Abram, a gentleman of
Liverpool. He made the Will on 15 April 1804. A wife, Catherine was mentioned. She had been previously married, and
her daughter Jane (Rolley?) was left a bequest. Interestingly, Ralph bequeathed his diaries to the Liverpool Library. If they
are still in the archive there, they may be a valuable source of information to clarify if he is a direct ancestor or not, and of
his life, and possibly the lives of his close relatives.7 Ralph had a sister Mary [?] and another sister, Jane Wainwright. He
had a sister in law Elizabeth Kelsall and a niece Jane [possibly Kelly]. He owned a house in Stanton Street, Liverpool.
The Will was proved on 28 April 1814. Of most significant interest is that Ralph had a son, also called Ralph Abram who
was one of the Executors. Intriguingly, could this Ralph junior be the Ralph who is the ancestor of Michael Gregory? It is
suspected that Ralph senior the elder Testator was married twice. At his death, he was married to his second wife Catherine.
Ralph would have been a son from a previous marriage. Very interestingly, the IGI has a reference to the marriage on 6
September 1775 (10 years before the birth of Ralph junior) of a Ralph Abram to an Ellen Fouthworth (this might be
Southworth of course and be an error in transcription). They were married in St Nicholas Church, Liverpool. It is surmised,
but needs to be proven yet, that this Ellen Southworth was the mother of Ralph Abram jnr, the direct ancestor of Michael
Gregory. A copy of the marriage entry was found in the Parish registers of Liverpool:
Marriage
Parish of Liverpool
Ralph Abraham, Mariner and Ellen Southworth of the same place [Liverpool], spinster
Married by Licence
6 September 1755
In the presence of John Wright and William Barker
Interestingly, a further record was found in the 1851 Census for a Catherine Abram. She was 82 and would therefore have
been born around 1769. She was described as an Annuitant and was living at 100, Hemer Terrace, Bootle, Liverpool with
her two grandsons, George M Pearce (b. ca 1817) and Henry Pearce (b. ca 1809). Two servants were in the household:
Elizabeth Mullington aged 36, and Mary Mullington (possibly the former’s daughter) who was 17 years old.
There is clearly much further research that is now possible. There are a number of variations of the name, including:
Abraham, Abrahams, Abrahamson, Abram, Abrams, Abramson. It was a popular font name in the 13th century. In the Fen
district especially, the entries are numerous. The entries in the Hundred Rolls are all but entirely confined to the Fen
Counties. A glance at the London directory will show that in general Abraham represents the old English stock, and
Abrahams the more modern Jewish. This is proved by comparing the personal or Christian names prefixed to the instances
of Solomon and Salmon.
7
Later investigation to find the Diary, however, proved fruitless. It was not located in the Liverpool archives.
4
The name also derives from a local of ‘Abram’, a township in the parish of Wigan, Lancashire. The Lancashire Abram and
Abraham spring from this place, vis:
Gilbert de Abram, temp. Hen IV
John Abraham of Abraham, temp Henry V, Lanc
Isaac Abraham of Liverpool 1613, Wills of Chester
William Abram, Parish of Sephton, 1617
Could one of these men have been an ancestor?
Further research commenced to gather more information about the wider Abram family, in the anticipation that this might
lead to living relatives being found. Elizabeth Kimmer Abram was found in the 1861 Census living with her brother-in-law
Richard Blake and his family. She was discovered again in the 1871 Census along with her sister, Ellen Abram, living still
with Richard Blake and his family in Oxton.
George Perry Abram, the brother of Michael Gregory’s ancestor, Janet Abram, was found in various census and in the BMD
Index. He married Mary Welsh (b. ca 1844) in 1873 in Heswall, Cheshire. In 1881, he was described as a schoolmaster
living at 8, Cathedral Close, Wells. He was a graduate [BA] of Cambridge University. He had a number of children:
Gertrude Mary (b.1874 in Oxton); Elizabeth Winifred (b.1875); Margaret Ellen (b.1876); George P. Abram (b.1877);
Dorothy (b.1878); Cicely (b.1880); Joyce B. (b.1885, Wells, Somerset) and Edith G. (b.1887, Wells, Somerset). In the 1901
Census, George Perry Abram was again discovered living at 131, Downside, Berkshire. He was then aged 65 and described
as a retired schoolmaster (although he had been the headmaster of Wells Cathedral School, Somerset). There was another
child, Joyce, aged 16. George, his son, was a bank clerk. Margaret was at home and working as a governess. In the 1891
Census, George was listed as head teacher of Wells Cathedral School. George P. Abram, his son, was living at home, having
been born in 1878.
Another of Janet’s brothers, Edward Abram, was found in the 1881 Census living at 2, Mossy Bank, Liscard. He was
married to Elizabeth, who was five years younger than him. They had six children, all born in Cheshire: Lilian C., Minnie,
Arthur, Ralph, Athelston and Walter G. Edward, the head of the household, was described as a merchant book keeper, an
occupation in which he was employed in the 1891 Census. By this time, the family had moved to 54, Geneva Road,
Wallasey. Edward was still living at this address in the 1901 Census, living with his wife and four children. He was still a
commercial book keeper. His daughter was a railway clerk and Athelston was a ship’s steward.
Walter G. Abram, Edward’s son, was married to Lillian. He was also found in the 1901 Census living at 1, Leyton Villas,
Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. He was a wine merchant. He had a son, also called Walter G, who was two months old at the
time of the Census. Gertrude M. Abram, another of Edward’s children, was found living in Rodney House School, Neston
and was working as a governess.
George Abram, the son of George Abram and Mary Welsh was found, sadly, in the database of the Commonwealth War
Graves Commission meaning that he had been killed in the First World War. He was described as follows:

Clearly, he was killed and missing as his name was listed on the Vimy Memorial to the Canadian war dead in France. His
name is inscribed in the Roll of Honour of the Canadian fallen, which can be accessed on the Internet. His parents had predeceased him and at some point (between 1901 and 1914) he had emigrated to Canada, although his widow was living in
England. He was killed in action on 16 September 1916 and therefore records should be available in the Canadian archives
of his service and of the events that led to his death. The Vimy memorial is Canada’s most impressive tribute overseas to
those Canadians who fought and gave their lives in the First World War. The Memorial overlooks the Douai Plain from the
highest point of Vimy Ridge, about 800 kilometres northeast of Arras on the N17 towards Lens. The Memorial is
signposted from this road to the left, just before the village is entered from the south. The memorial itself is someway inside
the Memorial Park. At the base of the memorial, these words appear in French and English:
5
“To the valour of the countrymen in the Great War and in memory of the
Sixty thousand dead this monument is raised by the people of Canada”
Inscribed on the ramparts of the Vimy Memorial are the names of over 11,000 Canadian soldiers who were posted as
‘missing, presumed dead’ in France. A plaque at the entrance to the Memorial states that the land for the battlefield park,
91.18 hectares in extent, was ‘the free gift, in perpetuity, of the French nation to the people of Canada’. Construction of the
massive work began in 1925, and 11 years later, on 26 July 1936, the monument was unveiled by Edward VIII.
The park surrounding the Vimy Memorial was created by horticultural experts. Canadian trees and shrubs were planted in
great masses to resemble the woods and forests of Canada. Wooded parklands surround the grassy slopes of the approaches
around the Vimy Memorial. Trenches and tunnels have been restored and preserved and the visitor can picture the
magnitude of the task that faced the Canadian Corps. On 3 April 2003, the Government of Canada designated 9 April each
year as a National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
George Percy’s service papers are in the Canadian archives. It confirms that his next of kin was Mary Abram who was
living at 7 Queens Parade, Muswell Hill, London. He was not married when he joined up in 1914. In his record, he is
reported as being born in Wimborne, Dorset, England on 20 February 1880. He was a farmer. He had served five years in
the 1st Surrey Rifles, a volunteer brigade (cap badge shown left). His attestation was
dated 28 October 1914. A later attestation on his file showed his next of kin as Mrs F.
Abram of 84, Hugh St., Lewes, Sussex. A search in the BMD Index indicated he had
married in 1915 to Florence Barker at Elham8.In his record, George is described as 5’ 9”
and of ruddy complexion. His hair was dark brown and he was of Church of England
denomination. His eyes were brown.
In April, 2006, the 1841 Census became available to search online. The family of Ralph
Abram was found living at
