Part 3 soon Dee         

[James R. Yeowell]

I think the birth place of Emma Hanks is Somers Town, which is south of Camden Town in London.  I do not know what district or parish this comes under though.

I shall do some searching and see if I can find out who she is.  If she had siblings, they could well have been born in Somers Town as well.

Also notice (on the 1861 census) that Eliza Babb Blades' middle name is shown as being a B, strengthening my feelings that her middle name is Babb and not her surname.

Addendum: found her in 1871 and yes, she's born in Somers Town (but I did not need to use that as part of the search criteria)

RG10/313/71/43

That makes her mother Emma Eliza Blades, then?

Addendum 2: it seems in fact Emma Eliza Blades married someone with the surname Willey before marrying Frederick William Hanks.

Marriages Sep 1848

Hanks    Frederick William    Newington    4   382
WILLEY    Emma Eliza         Newington    4   382


Addendum 3: the marriage certificate confirms this

Frederick William Hanks married Emma Eliza Willey on 20 August 1848 at the Parish Church of St. Saviour Newington, Surrey.

Both are of full age.

Frederick William Hanks is a bachelor, working as a Draper, of St. George Hanover Square; his father is William Hanks, deceased
Emma Eliza Willey is a widow, of Beresford Street; her father is Joseph Blades, Gent.

Witnesses: Frederick James Blades and Thomas Charles Blades

Well, James.....that answers lots of questions ...well done and thankyou. 

I'm pretty sure Somers Town comes under st Pancras.

Half my message disappeared when I posted! 

[James R. Yeowell]

Not a problem.

Now we have to find out who Mr. Willey was.

Addendum 3: the marriage certificate confirms this

Frederick William Hanks married Emma Eliza Willey on 20 August 1848 at the Parish Church of St. Saviour Newington, Surrey.

Both are of full age.

Frederick William Hanks is a bachelor, working as a Draper, of St. George Hanover Square; his father is William Hanks, deceased
Emma Eliza Willey is a widow, of Beresford Street; her father is Joseph Blades, Gent.

Witnesses: Frederick James Blades and Thomas Charles Blades

So I should be able to find Frederick James somewhere in 1841......

Dee Yes Somers Town is in St Pancras. The old St Pancras church is smack in the middle of it ( it's where the British Library is now, next to St Pancras railway station)

[deeiluka]

Thanks Jaywit..... 

It does get confusing sometimes remembering all the places in the districts.

I am fairly sure it says Frederick James Blades.  It says Frederick something Blades anyhow.  I am sure you will take a look yourself.

Also, I found this:

Henry Tucker Hanks

Baptism     3 Apr 1858
Saint Pancras Parish Church    Camden

Father: Frederick William Hanks,
Mother: Emma Eliza Hanks

He was born 14 March 1858 and the father was of Clarendon Square (likely where Henry Tucker Hanks was born as well).

It's the only one I've been able to find.

Addendum:

Marriages Jun 1842

WILLEY    John Dyson         Kensington    3   183
BLADES    Emma Eliza        Kensington    3   183

So you had the right quarter and year, just the wrong husband.

Here's his christening:

JOHN DYSON WILLEY
Birth:  10 APR 1820      
Christening:  28 JUN 1820      Saint Luke, Chelsea, London, England

Parents:
     Father:     JOHN WILLEY (he was a Dyer of Cumberland Street)
     Mother:     MARY

There was also a daughter from this marriage:

Mary Eliza Sussex Willey

Baptism     17 May 1843
Saint George, Camberwell    Southwark

John Dyson Willey
Emma Eliza Willey    

She was born 21 April 1843.  Abode was Albany Road and John Dyson Willey was an (illegible -- it might say Colonel) Broker.

Addendum 2:

Frank Mac Hale Blades married Annie Maria Jones on 18 August 1895 at St. John at Hackney.
Catherine Louisa Blades married Robert Daniel Jones on 20 May 1888 at St. John of Jerusalem, South Hackney.

Annie Maria Jones and Robert Daniel Jones are brother and sister.
