Urban Blake was born abt 1822 and married Mary Ann Aris at Newbottle in 1840. Does anybody have any information on his ancestry ? In view of the close proximity to Kings Sutton, I wonder if he was a descendant of Thomas Blake of Kings Sutton (1763-1846) and his first wife Elizabeth King nee Norman (1762-1805) who had at least 4 known children James Blake bn 1793, Frederic Blake bp 1799, Thomas Blake bp 1802 and George Richard Blake bn and d 1804.
