Thank you so much for the info on Edward Blissett and his family. I did already have it and indeed have been to see his grave and also raised a glass to him at the Bird In Hand pub - which is still there!
Kind Regards,

Hi Mark,

Hi Julie,

I am very new to family history research, but have dug up some details on Edward married to Eliza. You may already have the answers but this is what I have:-

Edward born 1830 m Eliza (Brookman) in 1861 and they had 2 sons Edward born 1875 died 1875 Albert born 1867.
Edward was in the 11th Hussars died in 1893 and is buried with his son Edward.
Edward senior was also a publican and had the Railway Tavern in Wokingham - "A Bird In The Hand" I believe.

raylin146 — 2009-05-18 10:35:01Z

Yes that's right, so you must be my husband, Ray's cousin.

I would be really grateful if you could pass what info you know about your grandfather to me.

Do you know when he died and where, Zoe thinks it was in London but can't remember when.

Re: william theselton blissett

JacquelinePetaBliissett — 2009-05-17 12:47:39Z

That's not Zoe who was married to Tom, nee Zoe Blissett, she has a brother Raymond and a brother (deceased, my father) Peter?

Re: william theselton blissett

raylin146 — 2009-05-17 08:46:48Z

This could well be the same person, he had 3 children :
Zoe, Peter and Ray. Are you by chance Peter's daughter?

I am trying to find out as much as I can for my mother in law, Zoe. Zoe's memory is very vague and I am trying to piece together some more information for her.

Hi Carol,
Just an addition to my last email, I have found another entry in my notebook, that says:
Poulshot
1814 - Samuel of John and Elizabeth - Butcher
1823 - Mary of John and Elizabeth - lab
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Carole,

My Blissetts have been traced back to Poulshot in the 1700's so I would imagine that there could be a connection. I would need to check my notes and see what I have regarding Poulshot to see if we can fit the two families together. Do you have more info regarding your John's family?

If you want to email me with any further details and in the meantime I will look up what I have to refresh myself as I have been concentrating on another branch of my family lately.

Look forward to seeing what we can find.

Tracing my grandfathers family

2005-09-18 02:28:09Z

My great grandfather settled in West Africa in the early 1900s and as far as we are aware his family came from Scotland.
He settled in Ghana and had 2 sons there.
He died there.
We are the grandchildren of these sons and are interested in tracing his roots.

2005-09-10 18:00:28Z

I am tracing my family history and the Blissett line can be traced from Islington back to Edington in Wiltshire. Does anybody have any connections with this family?

Re: Blissett

2005-03-08 18:37:03Z

Hi there,
I am also doing research on my family. Samuel Carter Blissett was my great grandfather, James Monroe Blissett my grandfather, and his son, my father Clifford Ellis Blissett. Samuel Carter Blissett was a Civil War Veteran and served with Co. H, 32nd Georgia Inf. The only information I have about Roland is a comment in a letter from my father's sister that a picture she sent of Sarah Catherine (Thornton) Blissett looked like him (Roland). The grandchildren called her Old Moma. It sounds like we may be cousins.

In the Butts County, Ga. Marriages, 1826 - 1926 there was listed a Alfred Bankston and Mary "Polly" Blissitt married on April 30, 1829. Alfred is s/o Elijah & Elizabeth (Morris) Bankston; Mary is d/o Elisha & Mary (?) Blissit.

My direct line goes back to George Johnson Blessett, brother of Elisha.

Does anybody know her parents?

Re: Warwick William BLISSETT

2003-12-02 22:04:39Z

Not much time to pull out the Blessitt book and research him again, but will work on it and get back with you as soon as I can. I believe I ran across his name online when I had been looking for ancestory in Ireland, so I don't think I have a link back. But, I will do my best. Thanks.

Re: Blissett Edington Wiltshire

carole1903 — 2006-04-11 20:55:45Z

I have a John Blissett who comes from Poulshot - this is just a few miles from Edington. He is aged 63 in the 1851 census. There aren't that many Blissetts in that area so they may well be linked. Do you have any more info?

Re: Blissett Edington Wiltshire

carole1903 — 2006-04-23 16:59:23Z

Hi Jan
I am descended on my father's side from Hannah Elinor Blissett (my great grandmother)
who was born in Merthyr Tydfil in 1858. Her father was a John Blissett but for many years I could not trace
him as he died very young and therefore wasn't on many of the later census - however it
was clear that he wasn't 'local'. I eventually found him in 1851 as a servant to John Parry
de Winton and he gave his place of birth as 'Pawlspot' Wiltshire. I was quickly able to find
him in 1841 living with his parents and siblings at the Green Poulshot. The family
comprises:

John Blissett, 53, Labourer, Born in county
Elizabeth Blissett, 49, Born in county
Samuel Blissett, 20, Born in county
Edward Blissett, 15, Born in county
John Blissett, 13, Born in county ('my' John)
Elizabeth Fox, 24, Born in county
Henry Fox, 6 months, Born in county

I have the elder John on the 1851 census, still at the Green living with James and Ann
Gerrish.

Does any of this tie up with your research?
Regards

Re: Northamptonshire Blissetts

lizjharris — 2004-09-29 19:24:35Z

I have a lot of info on the Blissett families which originated in a small village called Wilbarston, in Northamptonshire, near the Leicestershire border.

If you get in touch with your ancestors names, I will fill in what I can.

Re: Blissett/Burdett 1770--80+England

lizjharris — 2004-09-29 19:21:16Z

I am also descended directly from William and Martha Blissett. They were born in Wilbarston, Northamptonshire, England. I was unaware that they emigrated to the USA, but have details of the children left in England.

The Freestone Row address is in Kettering, Northamptonshire, where my 3 x gt grandfather Thomas Blissett died in 1892.

I hope that you read this message and reply as I am sure we have lots of information that we could share.

Lincolnshire Blissetts

I have some information on Lincolnshire Blissetts from my own great grandmother Annie Blissett Bird back through 4 generations to Thomas Blissett: 1st marriage to Jane (D. 1755), 2nd marriage to Martha Jackson or Johnson (I.G.I.) 28-7-1755 in Burgh-le-Marsh (5 miles West of Skegness) in Lincolnshire.

I am hoping to add to the information that can be found at the following webpage:

raylin146 — 2008-01-21 21:07:12Z

I am trying to trace the family tree of william theselton blissett. I believe he was born in Liverpool in 1870, his parents are called Thomas and Annie. Thomas was born in approx 1841 in Smethwick, and Annie whose maiden name I don't know was born in Liverpool. They had sons called Gerrard, Joseph, Thomas and Florence. They had moved to Jersey in the 1881 census. Does anyone know this family, as I would love more information.

Re: Berkshire Blissetts

I know this is a long time since your post but have any of your Blissetts married a Thorn(e). They seemed to be neighbours throughout the census years?

Re: Blissett/Bankston Family

lbster1 — 2006-02-18 23:03:50Z

could you send me a little info. on George Johnson Blissett and how you linked him to george? I have a book a relative of my husband, Johnny Blissitt, gave me, but it only lists 3 sons, Elisha, Stephen ( my husband's direct line ) and benjamin. I know there were a couple more sons and about 6 or 7 dtrs, but don't have that info. Would be willing to trade info.

Blissett/Bankston Family

donbankston — 2006-09-28 03:57:20Z

Need help with my brick wall. I am trying to prove that William R. Bankston, Andrew Jackson Bankston and Mary Ann Bankston are children of James E. Bankston.

In the early records of Jasper County and Butts County, Georgia, there was a James E. Bankston, Thomas Bankston and Abner Bankston, and others.

The reason for this posting is that lots of their documents and other items were witnessed and signed by your Blessit (name spelling varies) family members. These families seemed to move about, yet stay close to each other so there is going to be a close family connection between these families, where you find one, you find the other.

In your family search, have you run across any Bankston connections to the Blessits? Maybe in a Will there was some mention, a deed to some relative, possibly a marriage.

Would be most grateful for any information you would care to swap, trade or whatever.

Thanking you in advance for your reply.

My Great grandfather was called Roland Blisset but his was a compound name, ie, Roland-Blisset.
He emigrated to West Africa.
As far as we know he came from Scotland.
