Fletch, hope you had a good holiday. I found this query while surfing the Net among Family Finders as Ad #7743 placed by Gale Billard. ------- BLANCH, Thomas What I know: Born: 1834 in England Married: in England Spouse: Marfell, Mary Ann Children: Enoch Blanch, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Blanch Other Information: Mary Ann Marfell born in 1828. Enoch was born in Gloucestershire, England in 1859. He imigrated to the USA in 1878. Enoch died in Peru, LaSalle County,IL in 1949. I think that Thomas' father was Cornelius Blanch and mother Esther, but I am not sure of this. What I would like to find out: Is anyone doing research on the Blanch line? I would like to prove the parents of Thomas (Cornelius & Esther ?) and go back another generation. Any Info appreciated.
