Biography

• Proctor within the Archbishop's Court of Arches 1854

William Brame Abbot was born in 1830 at Leighton, Essex, England. ^[1].He was the eldest son of William Abbot the 6th and Emma Abbot nee Ingpen. Essentially, he was the 7th William Abbot, although technically his middle name Brame distinguished him from the six generations before him. Brame was the maiden name of William's Great Grandmother, Hannah Morgan nee Brame. She had married William Morgan and their daughter was Hannah Morgan. She in turn married William Abbot the 5th, and together they were William Brame Abbot's Paternal Grandparents. In fact Hannah Brame Morgan who was born in 1740, was still alive in 1830 and quite possibly attended the baptism of her Great Grandson. She did not pass away until 1843!

He was baptised at St Mary's Church, in Leighton on 18 February 1830.^[2]
William married Emma Church on 24 July 1858 at St Lawrence in Kent.^[3]

The 1861 Census recorded that William and Emma were residing at Chelsea.^[4]

The End of an Era - 1867

William's Father died on 7 December 1859.

William's wife, Emma died in January 1871, leaving him as the sole parent of their four children; Ada was 11, Reginald was 10, Lily was 9 and the youngest Mildred was 8. In the Census taken in the same year, 41-year-old William, Widower, and a Proctor in Practice was residing at St Giles Camberwell, London. He was a Lodger. ^[5] His four children were listed as boarders in the household of Alfred Hornby, on Old Street, Holborn.
