Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Help finding birth of Maria Blower c 1889?
« on: Monday 27 January 14 17:22 GMT (UK) »Hi,
Maria Blower b. 1889 is the sister of my great grandad, William Henry Blower b. 1886. Her father is Robert Blower b. 1860 and mother is Maria Mitchell b. 1860.
I had the same problem trying to find Maria's dad's birth but with no luck, so I tried various spellings of the surname, Blower, Bloor, Bloore etc.
I eventually found him recorded as Robert Blore 1860 b. Deansgate, Manchester.
So maybe Marie Blower b. 1889 is recorded as Maria Bloor, 1889 (Chorlton, Lancashire, 8c).
What I did notice in the 1901 census with my Blower family is that my great grandad, William Henry Blower was born in Salford unlike his sisters, who were born Chorlton/Hulme area of Manchester (although Salford is just over the River Irwell, so not far from Hulme/Chorlton).
What other information do you have on Maria, her sisters etc?
Hope to hear from you soon.
