Hi Anita

Thanks for your reply, it's good to hear from you.  And thank for the info on George and Mary Blount. May I ask though where you got this from, if it was ancestry then it's the data I originally added, however I'm not 100% convinced it's accurate. I was given our family tree by a relative of mine and they said that there were some inconsistencies but not where they were. It's the timelines for John Blount's parents that aren't quite right for me, it doesn't make logical sense that George Blount and Mary Withey were nearly 50 when John was born.  It's more likely that they were born in the 1760s or 70s. I've since done some more research and found a Samuel Blount that matches the dates better, born in 1763.  What do you think?

Thanks

Julie

Hi Anita, Jill and Spendlove

Well, after nearly a year I decided to log back onto this website, how remiss of me to forget about it.

It's great to see your replies on Blounts Hosiery in Belper and it seems we are related.  My Grandmother's mother was the sister-in-law of Fred Blount who started Blounts factory. 

You're right, so many Blounts in Belper but I think I've got our tree sorted out, which I'm sure you have by now as well. I keep the tree on another website starting from John and Charlotte who are my 4 x Gr Grandparents. I can PM you the website as I don't think I'm meant to advertise on here.  We might already be linked on it. Would be great to here from you all anyway.

Anita - sorry to hear that your relatives have passed away.

Also, Spendlove - I wonder if you could elaborate on the note of caution you originally posted, "Blount is a very common name in this area and not all were/are related to each other." I'm trying to trace the tree back further than  John and Charlotte and have come to a dead end.  I wonder if you can help at all.

Look forward to hearing from you.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: LOOK UP PLEASE - DEAN & AUSTIN

Got the marriage certificate, it shows James William Dean, Assistant Fruiterer, aged 23 m Jessie Austin, aged 22, on 26th April 1920. 

Father of James William Dean is Arthur Dean, Carman and Contractor.

Father of Jessie Dean is James Austin, Fruiterer.

Wonder if James married his boss's daughter.

Not sure if I've found the father of James W Dean on the 1901 census - can you check for me? The dates fit.

Also with James Austin, I think I've found him on the 1901 census, married to Ellen Austin with a daughter called Jessie.

Thanks

Thanks for this. 

Do you know how I find out the parents of John Blount (b. abt 1795) in Belper.  Do I have to go to Matlock to the records office?

Thanks

Thanks to you both for the info. 

I couldn't find the marriage of George Blount either but I did find them on the 1881 as Head and wife with James Blount (b. 1873), my Gr,Gr, Gr Grandfather as one of their middle sons. He's the one who married Ellen Booth in 1890 - that marriage I could find.  Does that mean that George and Hannah didn't get married or get it registered?

James Blount also lived on Paradise Row, Penn St, Belper which is the same street as Fred Blount who may be, according to your Grandfather, the owner of Blounts Factory.  Did you Grandfather say anything else about him?

I didn’t have Albert Blount on our family tree as he was born after the 1881 census – thanks for that.

Also, do you know where Eckington is? - I've looked it up on current maps and it's inbetween Sheffield and Chesterfield.

Thanks

Thanks to you both.

I've seen the reference that Pauline sent and I've been trying to work out the dates.

My Grandmother has always said that her Grandmother started Blounts. Her Grandmother was Ellen Blount whose brother-in-law was Frederick Blount.  However, Ellen Blount (nee Booth) was born in 1871 and Fred Blount was born in 1877 which puts them almost out of the picture if I just go by the date on that document (1936).  I don't know when either of them died. 

I thought if I found out when Blounts started business it would point me in the right direction, but there is absolutely no reference to Blounts company registration on the internet.  The only references are the ones you've already mentioned.

Any more pointers would be gratefully recieved.

Also, thanks for the note on Blount families I've managed to trace our family tree to John Blount born abt. 1795 in Belper - that's where the trail ends for now. 

Thanks
Julie
