If some kind person can please look up the parish records for Laverstock and Ford for birth / baptism of Charles Blake, born about 1818.
Charles Blake a Solicitor of 22 College Hill City of London married Mary Ann Elstob in 1842 at St Giles Camberwell, they lived at Blue House Merton Surrey, Fathers name Chas Blake. In the census for 1851 and 1861 it gives his birth place as Ford Wiltshire.
He is also listed in a collection of family papers in The National Archives under the heading Blake Family of Winterbourne Earls and Laverstock Ref number 1214/6.
I am particularly interested in his father's full name and if possible his mother's name / maiden name and any information in general on the Blake Family of Winterbourne Earls and Laverstock.
Thank your for any help you can supply.
