You have been busy while i've been away thanks everyone

In 1881 and 1891 Richard was listed without the middle name Copas which was his mother's maiden name

Looking at Richard Blinston's army papers on ancestry, he gives his address as 48 Harold St., Bradford. Then he gives his next of kin as James Blinston (father), 48 Harold St., Bradford, Manchester, and then another address: 12 Lavernum (?) Road, Reddish, Lancs. Pat, was your Richard's father called James?

Yes, he was! Elaine found the parents, James and Ellen, on another thread on here.

That must surely be him, then. Blinston doesn't seem to be a very common name.

My husband's grandmother was Frances Threlfall born 1900. I think Frances Threlfall Blinston and her mother, Harriet, may be related to Richard Copas Blinston. I have found a marriage for James Threlfall and Harriet Blinston on 1917. Frances married under the name Threlfall. Have you got any further with this family? I would love to know! I am waiting for the marriage cert for James and Harriet's wedding.

Harriet Blinston OR Rowlinson married James Thelfall - Chorlton Register Office 1917, Lancsbmd, so Merry's "guess" was correct.

Yes, Old Crone, but where did HILL go?!

JaneyN · #18 25-06-10, 18:34

Yes, Old Crone, but where did Mr. Hill go!
Harriet seems to have forgotton him...... also I still can't find them on other census. Anyone found them? Janey.

It should be easier to look for them when you have Harriet's marriage certificate, because it should tell you her father's name, though if she was illegitimate it might not, but at least then we will know something.

I'm guessing, but I think Harriet's mother must also have been called Harriet, because:

Harriet E Rowlands
m
Thomas W Hill

1886, Manchester Hulme St Michael.

So, Harriet Rowlinson Hill born 1887, would be their daughter and Rawlinson or whatever, would be her middle name. Perhaps she hated her father and dropped Hill from her name and married as Rawlinson (sp).
