Surnames: Blackburn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SNE.2ACIB/1123.2 Message Board Post: I was wondering if anyone had any information on a Sidney Blackburn. Sidney was born in India and is believed to have lived in/served in the military in Australia for a time. Sidney moved to England and married Florence (maiden name unknown) and had three children: Pam (deceased), Sidna (my grandmother, also deceased) and Joan. In reference to the money, there was a rumour of Sidney winning a tennis match against the prince of India, after which he recieved quite a large ruby which was stolen from his flat. Whether or not this story is true is debatable, but Sidney's parents were at least fairly well off.
