Hi Cazay    

Many thanks for your efforts with Charles Wilkinson - yes, it is rather tricky with others of the same name.   Thanks too for the offer to look up 1903 - much appreciated.

Whoops  .. hadn't as yet got to the Gloucester board, but here are details :

Charles BLIZZARD - arrived at Nelson, New Zealand, aboard "John Masterman",  February 1857 - from London, with wife (no name - but initial "M"), and four children.  His occupation - blacksmith.  No place of origin given for any of passengers on this voyage.   (These details are from a newly-posted passenger list - Archives NZ have no record of this vessels' arrival).
Charles BLIZZARD, blacksmith (presumed to be same chap as above) died at and buried in Marlborough NZ, 1890 aged 70 years = (b.c. 1820) :     (He would be similar age to Sarah Ann's father) ?

Have checked all the usual - famSearch, FreeBMD etc. without luck.    Annoying - no place of origin, but found 2 other BLIZZARDS arriving NZ at various times - both from Gloucester, seems the name may have its roots there ?   Just interested to see if he pops up in 1841 or 1851?

Very many thanks again Cazay.

Regards
Lu

Hi Lu

I fear I got lost in the detail of your thread, but noticed the Blizzard query so I had a look at the 1851 and found this family

1851 HO107/ 1794 330/7 Suffolk Woolpit
Address: Green
Charles Blizzard head mar 31 blacksmith Suffolk Old newton
Mary Ann do wife Mar 34 do Langham
Walter do son 3 scholar do Printstone/Drinkstone?
Teliva do daur 1 do do
Edward Greenbury serv U 35 blacksmith do Woolpit

Who were the only one's that instantly matched the Charles with wife M & he turned out to be a blacksmith. A check of FreeBDM may find a couple more children born before 1857

Marriage Dec 1850 Charles Blizzard Guiltcross (Norfolk) 13 461
On the same page Mary Ann Self

If this is the marriage, it could be the children were born before the marriage or Mary Ann was previously married? or Charles was previously married?
There is a Selena Blizzard registered in Stow Sep 1849 (perhaps my Teliva)
There are a number of Blizzard children born in Suffolk post 1851. 2 are in Stow which is the district for Woolpit
Jabez 1852
Jabez 1856

Hello Jenn

I just added to my BDM posting, the dates don't seem quite right? - your marriage to Mary Ann Barfield looks to be a better date

The marriage is on Free BDM - Charles listed as Blizard Dec Qtr 1846 district Stow

Good grief, says she yet again 

Can anyone find any connexion between these BLIZZARD families and the 'first' wife, Sarah Ann BLIZZARD, of John/Thomas RICHINGS (however spelled)??

Cazay, Florence WILKINSON in the Orphan School is yet another horribly tantalising record!  What to make of it?
