    3. I have successfully traced my family name back to Thomas Blair, who married Margaret Burney at Bromfield in 1793. According to his death certificate he was 84 years in 1840, therefore born about 1756. BUT where? If anyone can help me I should be grateful. I also have details of another line of Blairs, originating from Kirklinton, Cumberland, William and Stephen Blair abt 1720-30, believed to be brothers. Their descendants moved to Bolton Le Moors, Chorlton on Medlock, Lancashire. The most recent record I have of this family is the 1881 Census. I should be interested in hearing from any one with connections to this family. John Harrison Blair, Harrison Falkner Blair (he was a Barrister in Manchester area 1881), Harrison Blair and his daughters,Frances Beatrice Blair b. Deane, Lancs 1862, Florence Blair b. Stand, Lancs 1855. The information I have was found amongst my Grandfather's papers, therefore I feel there must be some connection to my line, but pieces of this jigsaw are missing, if anyone can find them, please contact me Anne
