Message from Janice Day nee Absalom on Ancestry:
I can go back to James Snr Absalom who married Elizabeth Kid but have no dates. A son James Jnr was born 1764 at Monkwearmouth Durham England and married 23 May 1787 Earsdon Northumberland to Elizabeth Hudson born 1762 and died 17 Oct 1832 South Blyth. My GGrandfather lived 24 Cross Row Cramlington Northumberland 1881 Cenus and came to NZ in 1882.
There are only 7 children in the IGI, the David born in 1792 is not included.
James Absalom was the great grandfather of Susannah Emily Absalom, the wife of George Fullick, my third cousin twice removed.
