Hello Arthur

I was delighted to read your post re the above.
I sent you an e-mail direct, but obviously it didn't get through to you.
Arthur Robert Danby's mother was Mary Blench, elder sister of my great grandfather
William Blench. Arthur's parents were also witnesses at my great
grandparents' wedding (William Blench and Annie Elizabeth Clark,
29/12/1881, Stokesley, England).

Obviously my interest is primarily in the Blench family, but as a Blench
married a Danby, this is how my interest expanded to include the Danbys.

I have quite a lot on the Danbys, but there are lots of gaps, and I hope you will be able to fill a few
of them for me.

The Danbys lived in Yarm, North Yorkshire. I understand that of William
Danby's 10 children 4 emigrated to the US, with the other 6 remaining in
North Yorkshire.

I also have information on the Blench family going back to the 1700s where
the earliest reference I can find is that they originate from Kiplin, a
small hamlet near Catterick in North Yorkshire. I can forward this on to
you if you wish.

I would be most grateful for as many specific (or even approximate!)
details as you have for any of your (and my!) relatives, especially dates
and places of birth, marriage and death.

Needless to say, any details about living relatives will remain strictly
confidential.

Your help really would be very much appreciated.
