Re: My Great Grandfather John Blanch

ian1541 — 2009-09-15 12:12:35Z

Hi, my ancestor was Charles Richard Blanche born 1806 in Kingston, Surrey but lived nearly all his life in Hornsey. His brother was John Hayman Blanche who was born 1802 also in Kingston but as his brother lived in Hornsey. There were four other siblings I have, James J., Caroline, Thomas and Josiah.
Thier parents I have as James & Mary Blanche.

Could any this family be related to the Blanches mentioned in this thread.

Regards, Ian

patsyandkinny — 2009-08-02 10:28:54Z

It seems we may be related. My father was George Henry Blanche, born in Hornsey in 1877, who, according to research we have gleaned from elsewhere, appears to be the great grandson of John Hayman Blanche. I do have further information on intermediate members of this line of the family tree if you are interested. Your information regarding the Brittany link is certainly very interesting and I wonder if you have managed to find out any further information since your last post. I am keen to find any ancestors on my father's side, because at the time I was born (1944) he was already advancing in years and I never knew him.

Sorry, my father's name is James H. Blanch. No sister named Sally. My original message somehow got mixed up with the gentleman I was responding with in referance to the Blanch's in Drewryville, VA that were known.

Hi Ben

I've sent some info via the Ancestry connection service - hope you've received it. If not please let me know and I'll try again.

I also have an email address for Bill Blanch but I don't really want to post that - if you would like it please also let me know.

Re: Seeking info on John and Sarah Blanch, UK

deruvspion — 2008-08-12 10:54:34Z

Hi Helen,

Thanks for your post. I got one or two replies early on, just after I'd posted the original msg, but nothing since. I'd still be very keen to gather more information on both figures, particularly John and his family, prior to their arrival in Australia. I can't offer much in return as far as geni material goes, as the research relates to a project dealing with Melbourne's early gun trade, of which John was the first (and sadly, shortest) business, but if any of that side of things is of interest, I'm only too happy to forward it through.

Look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,
Ben

jbsblanch1 — 2008-02-05 16:58:21Z

My husband is a Bill Blanch of the UK but he is NOT a descendant of your John and Sarah. His father was also a William, as were many in that family.
They came from the Forest of Dean.
There was one Sarah in the pedigree, she was nee Leadbetter.
There are other, unrelated, Blanches in S.London, Norfolk and St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Hello, in response to your grandfather I believe there is a mixup. My greatgrand fathers's name is Thomas Blanch and my grandmother Charlotte Baker Blanch are of Raleigh NC not Stith. Sorry for the mixup, because both first names are Thomas.

Re: Blanch of Raleigh North Carolina

ElwoodCephusStith — 2006-05-03 14:11:56Z

Recently you and I corresponded about the BLANCH family and Drewryville. You mentioned that a Thomas Stith being in your family line. Did you ever find the information about him and his family? I believe that this Thomas Stith was my grandfather's brother.

Bridget Green (nee Blanch) in St. John's

2005-03-15 02:17:43Z

I am trying to locate my gggrandmother Bridget (nee Blanch) and her husband John Green in St. John's, Newfoundland in the mid 1800s, or any of their relatives still living there today.

My great grandmother Mary died in childbirth at age 37 in East Boston, MA USA July 13, 1914. She had married Thomas William Hughes and had 5 children living - William J?, Margaret J?, Ethel M, William T, and Edward G - at the time of her death.

Bridget Blanch and John Green are listed as Mary's parents in St. John's where Mary was born. Mary may have come to the States with a sister in the years 1890-91, and possibly married by 1895.

Thanks for any help you might provide.

Re: RW Pension of Isaac Blanch

2005-03-05 21:14:22Z

I understand that you have a large database of Blanch surname from NY/NJ area. I have a Henrietta BLANCH, d: 1826, who married William BOGART in Shelby Co., Ohio. William BOGART was b: 1785 in Reddington Co, NJ, and d: 1858 in Putnam Co., Ohio. They had one child, Elizabeth Jane BOGART, b: 1826 in Shelby Co, Oh. This was my great grandmother. Do you have any information on this family?

Blanch & Drewryville

2005-02-15 19:15:49Z

I haven't seen the name Blanch in any of my research. There are plenty of Sykes and Jenkins in the area. Plenty of Sykes can be found around Drewryville/Adams Grove area. Jenkins from Boykins/Capron area. During various times, a portion of these area were considered part of the Drewryville District.

Disney is a long shot from where our ancestors came from. I am quite familiar with Drewryville. I can probably pinpoint where your ancestors might have lived.

I am still interested in making a connection.

Elwood

We could be related too!

2005-02-15 18:52:27Z

Also check to see if you have any Blanch's in your family tree cause we could be related. My sister told me that we have Sykes and Jenkins from the Drewryville town related to us also. We are supposed to have a family reunion, but their talking about Disneyworld to reunion at. I would love to go but I would rather go to where it all started in Drewryville. No one told me the family come from Disneyworld you know. I looked in the 1900,1910,1920 and 1930 in the town of Drewryville to find your family until then.

Re: Still looking for Blanch of Drewryville Virginia

2005-02-14 19:22:35Z

Tell me a little more about your Thomas Stith. I have a Thomas Stith that is supposed to be my grandfather's, Johnnie Stith, brother. If he is a Stith and from the Drewryville area, he is related. I have traced most of the Stiths to one common ancestors. Looking to hear from you.

Re: Still looking for Blanch of Drewryville Virginia

2005-01-28 06:03:12Z

My grandmother's third husband was Moses Yancey. He was from around Branchville, Virginia. Not very far from Drewryville. They attended Rising Star Baptist Church. There is a Yancey website. Can't remember the address at this moment, but there is a lot of AA Yancey information there. What else can you tell me about the Blanch family? Maybe they might have married into some of the other families around Drewryville.

Nicholas Blanch & Family/IL or IN

2004-01-10 23:52:30Z

Trying to tie in Nicholas Blanch into family tree. Had brother John Williams Blanch (who changed names to GROVES) married Louisa Mae Butcher. Nicholas has son Charles, born abt 1915 probably in Illinois with unknow wife. Have lovely photo of family.

Have photos of Eutherna Marill Blanche (at age 5, 6, 7, & 8)and Harry C Blanch (at age 8 & 12) children of ? (another brother of Nicholas and John, maybe George?)

Photos were taken at Brown Studio in Farmland, Indiana according to embossing. probably early 1900's.

I am from Drewryville. I haven't heard of the surname Blanch. Is it possible that the name could have been changed to Branch? What other information do you have on this family? Were they African American, European, or Indians?

Re: Bridget Green (nee Blanch) in St. John's

slumfish — 2005-05-10 01:30:10Z

Upon further review Edward and Mary Anne could be my great great grandmother Bridget's brother and wife instead of mother and father - or my ggggrandparents. Naturally, still interested in any information here about this Bridget.

Re: Bridget Green (nee Blanch) in St. John's

slumfish — 2005-05-08 02:03:55Z

An update: it appears from church records in Newfoundland that I'm now looking for a Blanche with a 'e'. I possibly located my ggggrandparents in Newfoundland (Edward Blanche and Mary Anne Prowse) as sponsors at my great grandmother Mary Anne Greene's baptism in Basilica of St. John the Baptist, St. John's in 1876. Mary, born to John Greene and Bridget Blanche, grew to marry Thomas William Hughes from NY and died in Boston in 1914 while in labor.

Kindly seeking any information you may have on Edward Blanche, his wife Mary Anne Prowse, or their children Bridget Blanche, etc? Thank you!

It sounds like the photos were found in Columbia, MO.
