Thank you for the info Chris and Malyon,

Only just managed to get back on to look at my thread!

Just now trying to piece together the life timeline for John Bland and Ann Evans for my folder and tree.

Going to recap on information given to see if I can find Ann Evans birth/baptism.

thanks all for any help received.

Wow, Chris,

That's a lot to work on there,

I will definitely have a look at the links that you have posted and try and form a picture of John and Ann's timelines.

Hopefully I can find out where Ann Evans was born too as I am trying to focus on my Great Grandparents trail, so trying to go back as far as possible but its becoming harder and harder !!

Thank you for your help.

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 :-)

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! :-)
