Hi, I've only just picked up on this. I have James Whitson in my family tree.
In the 1851 census he is aged 5, living at, and it looks like Upper Bilson, with his father Matthew Whitson born 1822 in Littledean and mother Hannah nee Penn born 1824 in Ruardean. Siblings are Thomas 3 years old and Mary 2 months old. Not sure about the Abbott connection, I'm still working at it. My only question on James's second marriage to Mary Evans is, If she had married Benjamin Abbott prior to James Whitson, why isn't she Abbott in the second marriage?? Her mother Sarah Evans is shown living with the Whitson family in the 1901 census
