      I have found the marriage of William Larkin to Annie Purcell on the LMA records
      They married in Fulham and Abraham's occupation is given as a coachman

        I think this may be the 1871 census, transcribed on Ancestry as Abram Parcell

        Geraldine's previous thread contains a bit of information about this family


        .. but I still can't see them in 1881!

          Me neither, nor the children - perhaps he travelled in his job as a coachman - but even so the rest of the family should show up somewhere.

              There's an Abraham PURCELL, b Flint, 1838, whose birth reg shows up on the N Wales BMD site - I haven't checked FreeBMD.
