John was my 2 x great grandfather.

He married Sarah Ann Hardy and they had 3 children - John Robert, William (Willie) and Maud c 1892 who was my great grandmother.

I believe John Blazer c 1852 was born in Norfolk????

Does anyone know any more? Is anyone related to him?

Check out freeBMD for Blazer in Downham.

It shows a Mary Hall Blazer birth in 1850 and a Thomas William Blazer birth in 1863.

Previous to that is a marriage of a John Blazer, and on the same page is an Elizabeth Hall.

There is also a marriage of a Martha Blazer in Dec 1868, a David Melkin is on the same page.

On the 1871 census there is a Martha Marting c1849 Southery with husband David.
