Find Ancestors

Hello All,

Got an early one before 1837, hoping that someone with more experience will be able to help.

My 3rd great grandfather was John Bland
Born 8 May 1813 to John Bland and Ann Evans in Yardley Gobion, Northants.
Baptised 16 may 1813
Married 1 Nov 1834 in Grafton Regis, Northants.
I have all census, death and probate records.

Just totally stumped with his parents.

Any help would be appreciated.

Don't understand .you say you have his parents names so what are you looking for
please

Sorry for the confusion,

Any birth, marriage or death records would be good,

although the name Bland is more common than I imagined.

Also any siblings of John.

Thanks

Do you have the baptisms for siblings of your 3x gt grandfather???

They are available on ancestry

Thanks so much guys for the info - Chris - Yes Adeline bland is a relative to John bland(b.1813) she is his daughter.

Sylvia - I haven't got any siblings for John Bland (b.1813) to John Bland and Ann Evans.

Can you help?

Maybe if I study the census info that has been posted on here, that might give some names maybe! :-)

there are more children born to a john and ann in other places in Northampton seems a big gap between births

found these deaths

Elizabeth Bland

9 April 1824
Potterspury, Northampton, England


Thomas Bland
England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991

20 October 1815
Potterspury, Northampton, England

Thanks for the information you have found.

There does seem to be a bit of a gap between Thomas and Elizabeth - 7 years!
The two deaths you found also maybe a generation back as the deaths for them are before the others (with the same names) christenings ??

If only the census went back a few more years!! ;-)

Any help is much appreciated :-)
