Hi,

I spent a lot of time and money looking into all this and I have most of the answers with back up.
I haven't been actve on the family tree for some time now as I hit a hard point around 1700. I have proof that the Blicks date back in Minchinhampton, Gloucester back as far as 1500 on micro fiche parish record but have not been able to link them yet as the info is hard to read.
If you contact me on my hotmail address I will have more time to look up specific things for you.
I did start a Blick Family website with all on but unfortunately it has long gone
