I am interested in the Blakes of Toddington and particularly Gabriel Blake c.1758. Is there anyone on the list who is also researching this family,and do they have any details of his parentage. I am aware that he married Elizabeth Adams October 16 1786 in Toddington. Thank you John Linton I use BullGuard Spamfilter to keep my inbox clean.

John, His marriage is there but the rest of the entries are user submissions. There are no baptism entries for Gabriel Blake anywhere in England in that timeframe and there are no Blake's in Toddington baptism records. I also had a look at Bedfordshire Poll Books 1722 and 1784 but nothing there either. I can only sugget you might try Bedford and Luton Archives. Peter
