There is a William Abnett listed at 104 Peascod Street, Windsor between 1823 and 1830.  Sounds like a retailer and jobbing gunsmith to me.

Thank you Bill for the information, do you think that
1830 is about the right vintage for a percussion back action shotgun , I am no expert

Yes, easily and also the entry address dates may not be accurate to an exact year.
