I am researching the Abraham family also. I have managed to get back to James Abraham b abt 1846 (could be 1848) in Co Lietrim, Ireland, I'm afraid I'm stuck on this one. The only thing I know is that he married Cathrean ? maiden name unknown. I'm also not sure if they married in Ireland or England. They had 6 children, Thomas, Mary, Anne, Margaret, Elizabeth and James. I am a direct decsendant of James b abt 1880 in Huddersfield.

I'm not sure whether your Abraham family are related to mine but maybe some of the details could mean something to you.

I would be grateful if you would forward any links where I could find 1.) Record of the marriage
2.) Information on James's mother and father.

[Habron]

I know that there was a family called Abraham in Huddersfield and that we were related to them, some of my relatives were in the same classes at school and they used to argue about the spelling of the name, we were then using HABRON although my Gfather was baptised Abraham in Quinultagh near Dunmore.
I do not have any detail of the Abrahams in Huddersfield but will keep my eyes open.

I can't find any townland in the IreAtlas named "Quinultagh". Is there another spelling? My mother's side are from the townlands Ballinross & Benmore, Kiltullagh Parish, Roscommon County. Dunmore is in Galway county. I have "Parochial registers of Kiltullagh (Roscommon), 1839-1880" FHL British Film #926226 on loan and can do a search if useful. Neither do I find the name "Abraham" listed in the 1901 Census.

My GGG Father Thomas Abraham was born in Kiltulagh and married Norah Sheridan, who was living in Quinultagh where they settled.
Quinultagh is a very small village outside Dunmore and is not shown on many maps. There is still family in Ireland though its many years since I was in contact with any of them.
The family also has links with Cloonfad and Tuam.
My G Grandfather Thomas Abraham married Bridget Glynn who eventually followed him to Huddersfield. My Grand father Thomas was born in Quinultagh but came to Huddersfield with his mother as a child this is when they adopted a different spelling although I do not think they were the first to use Habron as a surname.

I found it! It's the Townland of QuinAltagh County Galway, Barony Dunmore, Civil Parish Addergoole, Poor Law Union Tuam. It's on a back road slightly North West of Dunmore, Galway County. Ordnance Survey Map #39 Discovery Series 1:50 000. I am sending you a copy of the 1842 OS Map to your email address. These are available online from Galway County Council.
