Hi I am doing my ancestry tree, my direct line is Tivy. My g g g g grandmother was Jane Abbott of Ireland she was married to William Elliot Shaw, I have just recently found out her mother and fathers name witch was Anne Smyth and William Abbott. We have a letter saying about a lord chief justice of Ireland and for a long time thought it was an Abbott member, now though we believe it may be something to do with Janes grandmother Jane Downes who was married to Thomas Abbott. We have no info on Jane Downes, do you have anything about her or her family. I also live 15 minutes from Bishop Stortford England. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards for now. Ruth

Hi! Ruth. I have reason to believe - recently advised - that Jane Downes was the daughter of Rev Abraham Downes of Birr. My ancestor is her sister Mary. She also had a brother, Rev Abraham Newbould Downes, who followed his father as Rector of Birr.
