Hi Angela, Long time no speak ! Thanks for the info re your webpage ~ I sent you a direct e-mail on it's inaccessibility, but that bounced 'cos they said your mail-box is overflowing ! Pity we can't help Debbie immediately, but now she is in-touch hopefully something will turn up ? Kind Regards to all BLAXALLs, however you may spell it and where-ever you may be.

Hi All, Thanks for the Emails. What friendly (and far flung!) folk there are on the Blaxall list! The information I have so far on the Blaxall line was gleaned mainly from the mailing list- July 1999- "The Blaxalls of Worlingworth". I have also got a little more from a couple of people on the genes connected site regarding Keziah Mayhew. She was born in 1804 in Horham, Suffolk to Nicholas and Tabitha Mayhew (nee Ward). She married John Blaxall (Blacksel on the IGI record) on 16th July 1822 in Worlingworth. I think he was born around 1791. So to summarise what I think is correct: John Blaxall b:c1791 m Keziah Mayhew b:1804 = Henry Blaxall b: 1835 m Elizabeth Rose = William Blaxall b:1864 m Bessie Sarah Whitewood b:1866 = John Baden Harold Blaxall b: 1901 m2 Laura Ingham b:1906 = Kevin John Blaxall b: 1933 Liverpool m Joan Davies b: 1937 = Alexander Blaxall b: 1962 Liverpool m Debra Martino b: 1966 Alex is the eldest of three sons. We have one daughter who is almost 5. We live in East Sussex as do Alex's parents and his youngest brother, although his middle brother is not too far away in Kent. As I am just starting out on putting together our family tree, any information or advice would be gratefully received. Best wishes Debbie Blaxall

Hi Folks First an apology to anyone trying to access my web page - I'm afraid I have taken it down as I have found that unfortunately large chunks of my tree have started to appear on other web pages without my permission and without anyone even contacting me [ this doesn't apply to cousins from this group I hasten to add] Neil and I are in the process of creating a new web page which will be password protected and I will let you all know when that is up and ready so you can all have a browse. As to the above couple I haven't got them in my tree - could you give some dates and places for them please Debbie and I'll certainly see what I can find out for you.

I'm afraid that the names you mention do not ring a bell with me ~ but at the ripe old age of 76 I tend to get a leetle forgetful nowadays ! If you click on my website address listed below , and then click on Blaxall Genealogy in the top left hand corner scrolling menu [colour Green], you will be able to access websites produced by our cousins Angela Ward, Carlton Blaxill [sic} and Dave Martin. These may give you some leads. Unfortunately Angela's site is "playing-up" at the moment, but I have e-mailed her on the subject & hopefully all will be OK in the not too distant future. Meanwhile please tell us the age/name of your daughter [You can't get 'em started too young !]and some info as to "roughly" where you live ~ NO DETAILS PLEASE for SECURITY REASONS ! Can you give us some dates for the people mentioned ? that might help with eras. If memory serves me correctly this List, set up by Carlton Blaxill[sic] reaches about 20/30 BLAXALL/BLAXILL/BLAXCELL families around the world. Kind Regards Geoff Lewin BLAXALL [Hextable, Kent, S.E.

Hi Andrew, Yes, I am the list owner for the Blaxall mailing list. Apologies for the delay in answering, but we had a pretty violent storm here in the UK on 27th October. Our phone line was brought down, and would you belive, it has taken BT (British Telecom, our service provider) till this morning (Tuesday 26th November) to repair the line (along with the rest of the lane !). So alas, I have had no internet access for over 4 weeks -- well not from the this account at least. So I guess the reason mails were bouncing was because my mail- box was full. I have cleared this just now, so hopefully normal service will be restored. Is there anything else I need do ? Thanks Carlton.

Hi all, My family history interests have been revived courtesy of the 1901 census, now that it is finally available. I dug out all my old notes and then went through my emails only to discover that the address I subscribed to this list with in 2000 is no longer active. I haven't been receiving list mail for a year and I've only just realised! Has anything interesting happened in my absence? Has anyone found out some useful information from the 1901 census? In the few searches I've done this week I've come across some decidedly dodgy information. Walter Blaxall was listed as being born in Shefford, Norfolk and not Thetford, Norfolk. I don't even think there is a Shefford in Norfolk. My paternal great grandmother is listed as being 57 with a daughter (my grandmother) aged 7. That doesn't compute! Now my interest is revived I shall try and get further with my line of 3 x Walter Blaxalls, starting around 1835-6 with the son of Mary Ann Blackall. (thanks to Carlton for the info). Anyway it's good to be back. Karen West PS Carlton, the link to your website in the introductory email is wrong, it reads www.blax.demon.co.uk.(started

Tara, Further to my posting re Lewin Jeremiah BLAXALL, I have just re-discovered a snippet that he was Christened 11 September 1823 in Eyke, Suffolk and his parents were Lewin Jeremiah BLAXALL & Marianne WOLTON who married in Eyke, Suffolk 23 Jan 1823.

Hi Tara, I've found one of my notebooks and am transcribing info for you & Sam, but it's taking longer than I expected. Meanwhile, this query of yours sounds like Lewin Jeremiah BLAXALL. According to the 1881 Census he was 57, unmarried, listed as a grocer at 25 (NOT 45 ! ) New Ormond St (NOT Great ! ) with a manager, 3 assistants, a housekeeper & a house maid - all living-in. The Census shows no house numbers above 25, but at No 23 is a Home for 30 infirm ladies plus 9 staff & at No 22 is the Lady Superintendent plus 21 staff - so they were big houses. Now we need to be careful with street names and numbers as one of the first actions of the newly formed London County Council ( LCC ) in conjunction with the Post Office from 1888 onwards was not only to get rid of duplicated street names throughout the LCC area by wholesale re-naming, but also re-numbering ALL streets such that the lowest number was closest to the nearest Postal Delivery Office. Thus 25 New Ormond Street in 1881 could well have become 45 Great Ormond Street by 1890 !! Thanks for solving a problem for me as I couldn't find any trace of New Ormond St on any maps and I assumed it had disappeared under re-development but I can't believe Lewin Jeremiah would have relocated lock, stock & barrel from New Ormond St to Great Ormond Street so I can confidently believe that it was a street re-naming ! As to the business name Blaxall, Son & Company, the "Son" bit *cannot* be Lewin Jeremiah's son as he was unmarried so I guess his Dad ( Also Lewin Jeremiah ) put up some capital for the business so he was the "Blaxall" and Lewin Jeremiah junior was the "Son". Amazing what one can string together from "snippets" !! Thanks !

Dear All, My name is Sam Malin. I live in Essex, work in London but grew up in Canada. My Blaxall link is thus Samuel Andrew Malin Born 29/09/1963 Leamington Spa, Warks, England son of Thelma Emily Dixon (and Brian Charles Malin) Born 26/04/1934 Acocks Green, Warks, England daughter of Gwynneth Leila Jones (and Leslie Robert Dixon) Born 20/1/1910 Walsall, Staffs, England daughter of Maria Emily Blaxall (and Edward Eric Jones) born 28/09/1873 Hounslow, Middlesex, England daughter of William George Blaxall (and ? possibly Selina) born in the 1850s in London (probably central) believed to have had a livery operation William George had other children: - Charlotte "Lotty" - Violet "Vi" - Patricia "Pat" - William "Bill" - Selina "Lil" - Elizabeth "Lizzie" - Another daughter - Jack? - George? This is a far as I have got for sure. There is some empirical evidence to suggest that William George Blaxall's parents were Frederick Blaxall and Mary Gillman but I am far from certain. I would be very grateful for any light that can be shed on William George Blaxall's parents and birthdate. Best regards Sam Malin

Hi Rachel, I am sending this to the Blaxall List hoping you are still subscribed and also to the paradise address which Diane Howell believes is yours. I lost my entire address book in a crash thus am not able to verify this ! Diane is anxious to re-establish contact with you as her son, Nicholas, is on an extended stay in New Zealand and his brother, Jonathan is visiting him for several weeks while they tour South Island in a car. She hopes they have the opportunity to visit you or at least speak on the phone. Diane's home telephone number here in the UK is 44 (0) 1594 843 438 and she is able to send text messages to Nicholas' mobile out there on 07778 210 136. It looks, therefore as if he has established the"roamer" facility on his UK - based mobile so I guess his International access number would be +44 (0) 7778 210 136. Here's hoping you can establish a link ! Kind Regards Geoff Blaxall Hextable, Kent. UK http://GeoffBlaxall.tripod.com
