That's very kind of you, Sylvia - and long may you be like a dog with a bone! Sylvia, this is almost certainly not part of my family. There are two main 19th century clusters of Anables/Annables in England, one around Cambridge and the other around Derby/Nottingham, and I feel sure this is the other lot. I also know now that my great-great-uncle was both registered and baptised as simply Francis Anable, not Francis Joseph Anable. Joseph is not a common name in my family. I think the family you have found below are quite probably that of the Francis Joseph Anable you found crossing the Atlantic in both directions earlier today - I am very much afraid it is not the answer to my puzzle - yet.
