Trying to find Bletcher

I am currently researching the Bletcher branch of my husbands tree. I would love to get into contact with whoever has the following Bletchers in their tree: Thomas Bletcher born abt 1840 in Ontario, Canada, his wife Annie King born abt 1846 in Ontario, Canada. He was a mechanical engineer and made sewing machines for a company - according to the census records - called E&M. Four of his six sons became mech engineers and worked for that company too. I have not gone back before Thomas and Annie because I have yet to master searching Canadian records! However I do have details of their children, there are 7 of them born before Annie died around 1877-1878. Thomas remarried Matilda Jane Revell (born in Poplar abt 1861) and together they had another 7 children. All children were born in London - around the Bow, Tottenham and Pancras areas - and between the years of 1865 and 1894. One of Thomas and Annies daughters Margaretta Florence (born in Pancras, 1866) is my husbands great grandmother. If anyone has any information that might match up please do get in contact.
