Hello Dave and all, I am currently feeling very happy about having found my Hannah Blake and her children ages 2 months (my gr grandmother) 2 yrs (James) and 4 yrs (Samuel) in the 1841 census (which I have) of St Mary, Southampton. I wanted to let you know this, DAve, as you did so much work for me earlier on this family. You may recall you found Samuel Blake, 14, visitor with James Hurdle in the 1851 census for me and we wondered about who he was and what was the relationship if any. For those who don't know, James Hurdle is named as my gr grandmother's father on her marriage entry. I haven't been able to locate birth entries for any of these children through freebmd or 1837 on line. Though I think Dave that you did look in Parish Registers for me earlier, I'd like to take one more stab at that if someone could suggest who to contact. I believe but am not absolutely positive that they were Church of England. And as well DAve I wanted to let you know we have now got Hannah's death certificate. She died Hannah Blake, March 24, 1871 in Freemantle at Trafalgar Rd just before the census was taken. So is Southampton Bereavement Services the place to enquire about her burial? Thanks, Eleanor in B. C. Canada
