For a while somebody I was helping research their family gave me access to their Ancestry site but after I had got as far as I could they didn't renew their subscription ........!!!
I did a few checks for my current research project during the FREE Xmas Ancestry but that didn't last for long!

There are many trees on Ancestry for the Abson and Gosnay families. Some of them are so full of errors that it makes one laugh. However one tree says that Joseph Gosnay & Mary Lockwood are the parents of Mary Gosnay who married John Abson. No documentation though.

Not sure a birth in 1794 can be to couple married in 1752

The first marriage works for the family as traced back from the living descendant.

I am creating the Family Tree in PAF5 which, as many of you know, can produce a gedcom file for uploading to various sites
