Hello all,
Found out something that may be of interest to some..
This interesting surname is found almost exclusively in the south east of England, its origins are either northern or from a now lost or non existant place. In the old county Palatinate of Lancashire, two miles south of the town of Wigan, and on the former western road to Scotland, lies the village of Abram, in medieval times spelt "Adburgham". Local dialect contracted this to "Abram". In the medieval period the village witnessed "enclosure", and the inhabitants fled to London and the south taking as their surname the name of their former village with them. The spelling as "Tabram" is a condensed form of "Atte Abram", although there are many variations.
A Henry Tabram born 1886 aka Harry who married a Florence Harrison, they were pearly King and Queen of Hoxton.
best wishes
Phil
