I'm interested in making contact with anyone else researching Blanchards from Portsea in Hampshire, England. My husband's ancestor was Maria Annie Rosina BLANCHARD who was baptised in 1834 at St Mary's, Portsea, the daughter of John BLANCHARD and Maria Rosina STEPHENS. John was a Carpenter of Landport at the time. Maria's brother, John Richard BLANCHARD was baptised at St Mary's in 1837. Regards from Sue Boyland Western Australia
