Edward Abbott.
So far I know little about Edward. He was born sometime between 1810 and 1820, and lived at some point in Helsby, Cheshire.
According to census records, his son Thomas Abbott, (1836 - 1885), was born in Helsby, but I have not found a baptism record.
Baptisms for his sons, William and George, are recorded in the register for the Parish of Frodsham on 14th February 1841 and 6th March 1844 respectively.
This entry for the "Habbot" family in the 1841 census seems to match with Thomas's birthdate, and birthplace, Helsby. Edward is not present.

Link to Hardy Street and Gt George Square at NLS
Link to Hardy Street and Gt George Square at Google Maps Gt. George Square was one of Liverpool's finest, and Hardy Street effectively forms one side of the square. It is most likely that Sarah and Thomas were both living in lodgings in order to qualify as living in the parish of St Nicholas. They were possibly in the same lodging house or hotel, both quoting the address slightly differently to avoid suspicion of co-habiting.
