Julie, thanks heaps for your direction etc.

I'm finding this site incredibly user unfriendly... I don't really know how to use it..

Yes, I think I'm now on the right track, however I'm more than happy to hand over what I have on your Blakeney family. Unfortunately I don't know how to PM you from this site. Maybe you can PM me...no guarantee I'll know what to do though.

I appreciate any help I can get, and hence am only too happy to help others. In what I have on your family, I may have something extra for you. I hope so. There are certainly some trials and tribulations in there.

Bruce

There is a Catherine and Howard Brennan. The Catherine is the right age. ??????

Hi Julie,  Ann remarried 1860 to William Duckett, He was part of the Royal Artillery, arriving in 1856. I've just got their marriage certificate transcription. What is interesting is that in her marriage to Michael Blakeney, she gave her name as Brennan, however in the marriage to William Duckett her father is listed as John Buckley. Her death registration (July 1902) gives his forenames as John Peter. The second marriage certificate also names her mother as Catherine Hogan.
The name could be a transcription error, when the church records were transcribed in 1906. However it may be worthwhile following up on the Buckley.
Similarly, on the marriage transcription, William's mother is named as Hannah Reeves. Again that is not so, as his mother was Mary Ann Duckett nee Bull. Mary Ann died in 1841 and William and his older  brother were placed in the Banbury Workhouse. William would have been about 4.
I've recorded what I can of the Blakeney descendents hoping to make contact with someone from that line to clarify things. Bruce
