Biography
Abigail (Burnand) Axton has completed the England Project's Post 1700 Orphan Trail I.
I have clusters of family in London (particularly Kensington and Hendon areas) and County Durham / Sunderland.
I am particularly interested in how and why families cluster in and migrate between areas.
Family names I am researching include:
- Burnand - particularly in Yorkshire late 1700s / early 1800s
- Forcer
- Gibson
- Tweddle
While not looking into that side at the moment I would gratefully link with anyone with McGinty profiles in Achill Island.
My ongoing projects are:
- Burnand Post WW1 Address Tracking for Family of Oswald
- Bond Street Buildings
- Bristol (merchant ship)
- Bearparks in Hartlepool
- War Diary 2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry
- Recollections of a Happy Life
My favourite profiles are:
- Arthur Carver (1879-1916) was my first detailed military profile pre-WW1. His military records gave great details about his time in India and during the Boer War.
- James Simon Forcer (1882-1916) was another person with a detailed military record, this time for WW1. He was killed in action at the Somme.
- Oswald Burnand (abt.1853-1922) was my first detailed profile and my great-great-grandfather. He benefits from there being lots of detailed records, like census and baptisms so there was a wealth of information to found.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

We are so pleased you decided to upgrade, and thank you for signing the Honor Code.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
