Hello everyone. I am a newcomer to the list and am seeking information about my ancestor, George Blanchard, who was living with his family at Itchen,(Southampton), Hampshire in 1849, when his son Stephen was married at St Mary's, Southampton. His occupation on Stephen's marriage certificate was listed as farmer. His two eldest children were Ann Blanchard, born 7th December, 1822 and Elizabeth Blanchard, born 26th June, 1824. I would like to know where George Blanchard was born. He is said to have had relations in Dorset, but it is also possible that he was born in Wiltshire. I would appreciate any information about this family. Stephen Blanchard migrated to Australia in 1850, but Ann and Elizabeth stayed in England as far as I know. If there are any descendants of these two ladies reading this, I would love to get in touch with you. Best wishes for Christmas and New Year. Regards, Jennifer Lee Sydney, Australia
