Jan, Dont know if this is of any use but I have a Richard Blundell or Blunden, son of Thomas baptised in South Stoneham, Hants, 17 Mar 1747. I dont know what happened to him - no marriage or burial in the area which ties in. Could he be your man? Regards Sandra Jan Snook wrote: >Hi > >I'm new to this list. I have been researching my ancestors in Sussex and have hit a brick wall. I'm trying to find out where Richard Blundell came from. He married in Stedham in 1769 to Ann Howick (it said Hoick on the parish registry, but I don't think the rector could spell or write very well) . Ann was from Stedham parish and Richard from Selham, both in Sussex. They raised their family in Selham and the surname became Blunden. When they died , Richard in 1814 aged 83 and Ann in 1817 aged 73 they were buried in Selham. But it stated in the registry that they came from South Ambersham. Now Ambersham was part of Hampshire until 1844 and I was wondering if maybe Richard was a Hampshire Blundell. Can anyone throw any light on this and perhaps give me a few directions where to search. > >Many thanks > >Jan > > >============================== >Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree.

Hi Sandra It would be good if it were him, but I think that the age difference is rather large if Richard was indeed 83 when he died in 1814 as he would have been born in 1731. Having said that, your Richard could have been baptised as a child. Oh, it just gets more puzzling.

Jan there is a Colyn Blundel on a couple of the lists and his family ran a greengrocers/florist business in Eling. He will probably contact you if on this list.
