I believe I had also seen that version on some Irish sites, as well.<br /><br />However, in this digitized copy, it is clearly not Abina, making me wonder whether there are two different couples to which those names could be attributed, or whether someone was doing some "correcting" while transcribing--a situation which makes me a fan of seeing the actual document!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-30792048202126947312020-08-15T01:15:34.746-07:002020-08-15T01:15:34.746-07:00familysearch (and myheritage) seems to have indexe...familysearch (and myheritage) seems to have indexed her name in the 1847 marriage as "Abina" rather than the (rather oddly spelled "Abigial" you see here.Per Larssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302800557019819278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-13452876431610343072020-08-14T22:43:58.122-07:002020-08-14T22:43:58.122-07:00I guess because I had never heard of such a name a...I guess because I had never heard of such a name as Gobnait, it really stuck in my mind. And now, possibly finding not one but two in this extended family!
