Hi Pauline, I don't have much on this family. For certain I have John Salton who married Margaret Blades in Pickering in 1845 and Margaret appeared on the 1841 census in Pickering I think as a servant but not on the 1851 as she died in January of that year. From the census and death certificate she was born in about 1823. On her marriage certificate to John Salton it is stated her father is James Blades Farmer and she was born in Middleton although I found a baptism on the IGI of Margaret Blades to James Blades and Helen in Old Malton in 1823. Anyway these are the only facts I know. I did find some entries on the IGI concerning the marriage of James Blades and Ellen Jackson in Old Malton in 1807 and a few children born to James and either Ellen, Helen or Eleanor in such places as Old Malton, New Malton and Saint Michael New Malton but I have no idea if they are related. I cannot find James for sure in 1841 although I think I have him in 1851 in Middleton in 1851, a farmer and now married to Elizabeth. He may have remarried. Anyway I think he may have had other children called Isabella and Featherstone but again no way to be sure. Gael Smart .
