Re: Blevin - Formby to Armagh?

kksalter — 2009-01-10 03:59:34Z

Thank you! This is exactly the family to which I am referring. Your post runs out with this sentence, "There was a Charles John Blevin of about the right age born in Ormskirk, Lancs in 1859..." do you have additional information? My grandfather, Charles Paul Blevin, Sr. was from PA but moved to Charleston, SC where my father Charles Paul Blevin, Jr. and my aunt, Esther "Diane" Blevin were born. He moved to Big Pine Key, FL with his wife, Esther Gilroy Gates, and that is where they are both buried. My father lives in Key West, FL now. I am looking for any history on them or the many brothers and sisters of my grandfather's family.

I think Thomas Blevin is a great uncle of mine. I, too, am looking for any information. I'll be happy to share what I can.

Blevin Family Line

kksalter — 2009-01-10 03:57:47Z

My name is Kandace (Blevin) Salter. I am searching for any information on the Blevin family that appears to have originated in Pennsylvania or Cape May, NJ. My grandfather is Charles Paul Blevin, Sr, and his father was William Blevin, also of PA. I think his father was William Blevin of England. I know that there were something like 17 siblings of my grandfather's, but the info I have now is sketchy and subject to ancient memories. If you have any info, please contact me at kksalter@gmail.com. Thanks!

Re: Richard Elton Blevin Sr. - b. Cape May, NJ; d. Kansas City, KS

kksalter — 2009-01-10 03:57:00Z

I just sent you an email. I would suspect we are cousins. Please contact me at kksalter@gmail.com & perhaps we can figure out the link.

I am looking for any info about my family as well. My dad is Charles Paul Blevin, Jr. of Charleston, SC and Charles Paul Blevin, Sr. of Pennsylvania is my grandfather. He had something like 17 brothers and sisters. I know that a portion of them were also in the Cape May, NJ area. I have a great uncle named James Blevin, and I would suspect they are the same person. I have his dates as 1922-1998. I'll be happy to share what info I have.

Re: Blevin - Formby to Armagh?

Gleekogfrog — 2009-01-09 19:15:28Z

www.freereg.org.uk (which indexes British vital records post 1839) shows John Charles Blevin, born Ormskirk Reg. District, June Quarter, 1859 (you will have to order the original certificate to learn more).
*
On the 1861 Census of Lancashire, twp. of Formby, a Charles John Blevin, age 1, is listed as a grandson in the household of Thomas Blevin, 49, an unemployed shoemaker. Both are shown as born in Formby, and it looks as though Charles John could be an illegitimate son of one of Thomas' daughters. This is probably not your man, however, as John C. Blevin, age 40, b. Formby, was still in Lancashire in 1901.
*
Quite possibly your family does go back to Formby, but I think you will need to sort out the confusion in the Pennsylvania records first. If you can find the marriage record, that is likely to give parents.
*
The Lancashire Parish Register Society has published the Parish Register of Formby through 1837. These are still in copyright, but can be purchased on microfiche from the Society for a small fee (see http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/lprs/fiche.shtml).

Re: Blevin - Formby to Armagh?

kksalter — 2009-01-09 00:58:51Z

Hi, I am trying to find information about my family on my father's side & I keep hitting a wall. From what I can find, here is my place:

Kandace Salter
Charles Paul Blevin, Jr. - father
Charles Paul Blevin, Sr. - grandfather
William Blevin (born 1883?) - greatgrandfather

After that, I am lost. Do you have any info to share?

Re: Blevin - Formby to Armagh?

Gleekogfrog — 2009-01-09 00:48:07Z

You did not mention any locations in your message - but I am guessing you are referring to the William Blevin in Philadelphia on the 1920 Census, age 31, b. England, with wife Alice H. and son Charles P., 2. The 1910 Census of Darby, Delaware Co., PA shows William F. Blevin as age 23 b. PA with wife Alice, married 1 year. At this time he was living in the household of his father William Blevin (65, b. England) and wife Sidonia (45, b. PA, married 25 years). On the 1900 Census this family is back in Philadelphia Ward 24, which shows the younger William Blevin as born Apr. 1887 in PA, but lists the parents as Charles (b. May 1860) and Sidonia (b. Nov 1865), both born in PA. Obviously, there are a lot of discrepancies here. I suggest you start by looking for the marriage of the father in Philadelphia (whether William or Charles, at least his wife had an unusual name). There was a Charles John Blevin of about the right age born in Ormskirk, Lancs in 1859...

Blevin - Formby to Armagh?

Gleekogfrog — 2006-04-14 13:15:41Z

William Blevin and Alice Spenser mar. Formby 5 June 1734. She was bur. 23 May 1753. Among their children were James (bp. 1736) and William (bp. 1744). Are these the same as James and William Blevins who were in Co. Armagh, N. Ireland by the 1780s? Would be interested if anyone knows more about this family.

James M. Blevin of Iowa

2005-11-03 13:06:20Z

I wonder if anyone out there has any info on a James M. Blevin or his family of Appanoose County, Iowa? I think he may be my ggrandfather. His wife is listed as N.J. in the 1880 census, and his children were John, Mary, William, Nellie and Charles. My grandmother, Lula, was born in July, 1883, married my grandfather, Charles Davis about 1900, and had three children. She died of TB in 1917 in Little Rock. Any help firming this connection up would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Blevin, Easton, Noble, and Williams Family

colettebenson1 — 2005-08-21 21:12:28Z

Hi Cindy what happened to his wife and children why are they in an institution, and were was this institution it just says British Isles there seemed to be alot of paupers there.
Where was Richard in 1881 did he eventualy follow them to Canada or were they seperated.
Do you think he died in the UK the only way to find his death in the UK is to search the 1837 online.
I checked my 1911 Liverpool directory there were only a hand full of Blevins no Richards, but some were Printers.

Sorry cannot be of more help to you

Re: Blevin, Easton, Noble, and Williams Family

2005-08-16 15:17:51Z

Collette,
I can find him in the 1901 census as a Lodger in Everton,Liverpool. By this time Margaret Blevin and the kids, which are James Ellis Blevin, Ada Hope Blevin, Jane Williams, and Thomas Easton Blevin have all moved to Canada via of Home Children. I think he must of died after 1910. Margaret is buried in the Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec. On her headstone it stated she is a widow of Richard Blevin, in 1927. Richard parents were Richard Blevin and Jane Williams. Any information you could find would be great. Thanks,Cindy

If any one has any information on any of these family lines, would you please pass that information on. Thanks,Cindy

Re: BLEVIN/BLIVEN.........Help?????

2005-08-15 20:41:59Z

They are my husband's family........they are from the Detroit Michigan area. His mother was Shirley Mae Bliven, her father was Howard Bliven......I know that there is a brother, but no one is sure what his name is (or was, as the case may be), and there is speculation that he was a police officer in the Warren area.......again, there is no way of knowing for sure if that is correct!

Re: Blevin Family password

2005-08-15 20:39:04Z

no i don't as i'm a Blevin but past generations of my family moved to america and some stayed in wales so the bliven family made be descended from the Blevin family. I don't know!

Re: Blevin Family password

2005-08-15 20:38:26Z

Are you looking for a password for the Blevin family or the Blivens if it is Blivens i don't think i can help as i'm a Blevin. Where are you living?

Re: Blevin Family password

2005-08-15 20:37:49Z

I am William Adams Hunter, cousin of the Adams family that married into the Bliven family. The one Bliven I have made contact with is Jane Bliven b. 1920. She has been very helpful.

Someone sent me a file that required a password to open. I believe it was a genealogy report on Blivens. It may have been you. But now I just don't remember and I'm not sure I have that file anymore. Does any of this ring a bell?

Hi, Barbara. I just came across your post, sort of by accident. I'm curious as to whether you had any luck. You see, my grandmother was Richard's sister. I never met him though, he died before I was born. Are you searching for information because you are a relative?

Re: Blevin

lancsfox — 2005-08-15 20:46:54Z

Hi Cindy,

Back again.

Having had another look at the Thomas Blevin that I found in Formby he appears to come from a different Blevin family based in that district.

Do you have Richard Blevin in 1871?

In case you don't, here are his details:-

1871 CENSUS

Address: 29 Leece Street, Liverpool.

MARGARET BLEVIN - Head - Unmarried - Age 40 - Bookseller and Stationer - b. Liverpool

ELIZABETH BLEVIN - Sister - Unmarried - Age 36 - Bookseller and Stationer - Liverpool

RICHARD BLEVIN - Brother - Unmarried - Age 21 - Printer - b. Liverpool

ANNE BLEVIN - Sister - Unmarried - Age 14 - Scholar - b. Liverpool

MARY J. HERRING - Servant - Unmarried - Age 25 - General Servant - b. Swansea, South Wales

It appears that Richard Blevin married at West Derby in September Quarter 1871 (seemingly to Margaret Noble Easton).

In the 1901 CENSUS Richard Blevin was still boarding on his own and working as a Printer Compositor, this time in Everton, Liverpool. He still describes himself as 'married'.

If you want fuller details and/or references, just let me know.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Richard

Re: Blevin

lancsfox — 2005-08-15 20:46:07Z

Hi Cindy,

First of all - Margaret Blevin. I cannot find her in the 1891 census. Maybe she had died by then.

I had a look at the 1881 census and note, as you said, that she was in an 'Institution' at that time with her children. No Richard Blevin there, though, and I cannot find him elsewhere in 1881.

An 'institution' is usually a workhouse where accommodation was provided in the nineteenth century for paupers or people without adequate funds to survive in the world at large and who were also without accommodation. I cannot ascertain which institution they were in as I am only able to access the extracted details and not the actual census page at the moment, but will try again later.

I have found Richard W. Blevin, though, in the 1891 census and the details of his entry are:

Address: 40 CHARLES STREET, COWLEY, OXFORD

RICHARD W. BLEVIN - Boarder - Married - Age 42 - Printer Compositor - b. Lancashire, Liverpool.

No other members of the Blevin family were with him. His landlord was George Lee Clarke, a bookbinder, who was there with his wife Louisa and their children.

It does seem to me that Richard Blevin and his wife Margaret were living apart over the 10 year period from 1881 to 1891 for whatever reason.

Do you want full details of everyone present at the Cowley address - I'll be happy to extract them for you?

Also, I believe that a Thomas Blevin was lodging (by himself) with a family in the Formby area of Liverpool in 1891 and this person may be the son of Richard and Margaret. Would you also like full details of this household too?

Regards,

Richard

I'm looking for a Richard Williams Blevin married to a Margaret Blevin in the 1891 census. They had a son named Thomas Blevin. I was wondering where this family is at this time. Also I can find Margaret Blevin with the kids in 1881 census as pauper living in a institution(what is that)

Re: Blevin

parfam61 — 2005-08-16 15:13:30Z

I also have found that same information. I thinks Margaret immigrated to Canada in 1895. Some where in Montreal. I think she was a housekeeper. She was also listed as still married. Is there a 1901 candadian census

Re: Blevin

parfam61 — 2005-08-16 15:12:50Z

I would appreciate it. I also found some of that information. I would be interested to know if Thomas was staying with a family in Fromby. Also, Thomas married a Maude Davis in about the 1900 in Canada. How do I go about find out information on this. Thanks, Cindy

How do I find out when he died and where he is buried. His wife is buried in Canada. It doesn't look like he ever left England.

Re: Blevin, Richard or William

BarbaraLasky — 2005-08-15 20:34:43Z

Thank you so much for your reply. My son-in-law Richard, son of the deceased Richard would like to find out more about his family. He was only 4 when his dad died. I had a reply from Irvin (brother of Richard Sr.) who was going to find out more from his mother, but never heard back from him. We would appreciate any information you could share with us, and if you have any family pictures, etc. I would be very willing to pay for copying, mailing etc. My son-in-law only has 1 very small snapshot of his dad and none of grandparents.

I sent for Richard Sr. birth certificate and found that he was born in PA., name and occupation of father William, and name of mother, but that is all we have to this date.
