Thanks Eveline for your information on the Iles/Blandford family. I will order the Brimpsfield Parish records again and explore the earlier information. For some reason I have not ordered the death records for Richard and Patience but I will put them on my list to do so. I believe I have the 1851 census for Patience and Richard. I am behind in my organization of Iles records. Who do you have as the parents of Patience and Jabez? Thank you for your help, Janet Iles -----Original Message-----] On Behalf Of Eveline Clarke Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 5:32 AM Subject: Re: [GLS] BLANDFORDS in Brimpsfield Hi My husband is descended from Patience's brother Jabez. I have a christening date of 17th July 1795 at Brimpsfield for Patience. Unfortunately, I didn't make a note of where that date came from so I cannot authenticate it. Marriage 21st October 1822 and death 16th November 1879 aged 84 which is right for a birth of 1795. Free BMD has her death registered at Cirencester. Deaths Dec 1879 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iles Patience 84 Cirencester 6a 247 Regarding Mary Ann Blandford (Patience's daughter before she married Richard Iles) I have her christening as 19th April 1818 and her death as 24th April 1851. As with the above, I didn't make a note of where the information came from, so I cannot authenticate it. With regard to Jeremiah I have the 1851 census Which shows him age 17 and a servant to the Maltster and Baker in Brimpsfield I have the 1851 census details for Patience and Richard if you would like them. In respect of the 1871 census for Harriett Isles. Her age of 56 would put her birth year as 1815. I have searched for Harriett Burbidge's death from 1871 to 1900 and freeBMD has just the one so it must be her. That puts her as being born 1819 but in those days ages are often a few years either side. Deaths Mar 1879 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burbidge Harriett 60 Cheltenham 6a 320 I must add that it is most unusual for me not to make a note of where my information came from. It must have come to me when I first started researching, when I didn't realise the importance of keeping very strict notes. However, I think that the names may have come from my husband's cousin, as I have a copy of an e.mail from him saying Patience had 18 children (three before her marriage). He did not list them all, but of the few he did we have Harriett Blandford born 1821 and Harriett Iles born 1824. Looking at Harriett's death age 60 it is obvious that the one he gave me christened 1824 is incorrect and I have deleted it from my data bank. Regards Eveline

Hi Janet I have seen the parish record for Jabez and it states Jabus son of William Blandford and Mary. Regarding William and Mary. IGI have a marriage dated c 1794 at Brimpsfield for William and Mary However, I trawled all through the Brimpsfield parish records at the GRO and couldn't find a marriage in Brimpsfield from about 1770 - 1800, so I don't think they married there. This below is only a supposition and has not been proven. The only marriage for a William and Mary I have been able to find is 18th November 1793 at Churchill, Oxfordshire. Which is really just over the border from Gloucestershire and it is for a William Blandford to Mary Fowler. I have found a William Blandford born at Coberley which is not too far from Brimpsfield in 1758. I think this is the one who married Mary Fowler at Churchill. If this is Patience and Jabez's father his parents are Charles Blandford and Mary. At the time of going to GRO I only had 2 hours and had other things to look up as well, I must admit I was more interested in who was born and married rather than who had been buried. If the Brimpsfield parish records lists the age of the person who has died, we might be able to find out more about William from there. Someone did look in the burials for me in case any of the children had died but they only looked up to 1812. Unfortunately, I find it difficult to visit the GRO now as I have moved to Anglesey, the only time I can visit is at the week-end and that makes it very difficult.
