Hi Jan Have you found Claverdon with a Google search? Look for the nearest library and write to them for any information. In the Malmesbury Registration District there is a place called Lea and CLEVERTON where possibly an Abraham Dixon was born Dec Q 1859.- maybe someone got muddled? It's Wiltshire! Maybe Dad was on the move ! Abraham born/registered in Cleverton, moved to Claverdon and then to B'ham? You might have to take a risk and order the Cert specifying a father named William who was a baker? Just a thought!

First hits the radar screen in 1871 census Married Mary Ann Cunningham in 1876 in Birmingham. Mary Ann's parentage is Irish. Appears in 1881 1891 and 1901 census. Dies and has a death cert. His father is listed on his marriage cert as William Dixon, born in Birmingham, a baker. Abraham is a butcher. > > We have been unable to trace Abraham's birth or his whereabouts until 1871. Neither are we able to trace his father William. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
