Dear Kathy,
Thank you so much for all your hard work finding Samuel Blunt for me.  Unfortunately Ithink I must be barking up the wrong tree, though, because my great grandfather Samuel was a cabinet maker and also would have been about 18 in 1858.  Back to the drawing board!
Best wishes.
Dawn

Hi Anjo,
Thanks so much for the time you have spent searching for me.  It sounds as if you are right about William and Martha being Benjamin's parents.  I was really interested to hear there had been two other sons, Thomas and William.  I will try and check the submitter on the lds site as you suggested.

Hi, Frances,
Thank you for the info.  I had already found these possible sets of parents and  am inclined to think the right pair of parents are Benjamin and Eleanor.  I am not sure how to verify this, except that Samuel's siblings were George, Arthur and Emma.  Will post any progress made.

Am trying to find out more about Benjamin Blunt born circa 1810.  Who were his parents and did he have any siblings?  In the 1851 census he was a butcher, living in Delph Street, Whittlesey.  He had been married to Sophia Miller from Stamford in Lincs.  But she died after 1841.  Records should be in St.Mary's.  Any offers of a look up, please?

It would be great if you could look up the marriage of Samuel Blunt Dec 1858 St. Peter's Leeds.  Who did he marry ( he was my great grandfather and he seems to have had a lot of wives).  Also, can you find the baptism of Frederick Rayner Blunt around 1868, John William Blunt around 1862 and Harry Miller Blunt around 1871.  Any details, particularly who their mothers were, would be gratefully received.
Hope I haven't missed the boat!
Dawn
