Parents of Ada Mary CHADDER BLANK 1869 Salcombe

[TreeOfNames]

thanks barbara you have been a great help

so maybe his wife was a blank hence the passing on of a name as ive come across that a lot in my family?

I don't think so Lisa - he's to be found a Robert C Blank in 1871 and according to the marriage I posted earlier his wife was Sarah Jane Foxworthy

There is definitely something to be investigated as to why Robert was sometimes Blank and sometimes Chadder. 
I think what we ought to do now though is digest all the information that has been unearthed and make sure that it all hangs together.
My initial feeling is that you ought to buy the marriage certificate of Joseph and Ada as this will confirm the names of their fathers and their ages when they married.
More later!

hi again im going to note all this down then come back later after ive looked through everything i have

something else that my dad was told was ada chadder blank has some sort of family connection with 3 men all family members in a lifeboat disaster which i believe was the salcombe disaster it was a wooden rowing boat. ive never found any other lifeboat disaster in the devon area with 3 family members aboard
The surname for the men was foales
unsure if this is of any help at all? Ive added the website http://www.submerged.co.uk/salcombe%20lifeboat.php which does explain it all

You were querying, in one of your posts, the birth date of Joseph Grant Cary because you had a note of a birth registration in 1862 and another in 1872.  There are indeed 2 registrations recorded on Free BMD.  But I also found a death of a 4 year of Joseph Cary in Newton Abbot RD in 1866.
My suspicion is that this is the child registered as Joseph Grant Cary in 1862. It is quite likely that the parents gave another son, born in 1872, the same name.  It could of course be that the Joseph Grants came from different families.
I think the DoB of 1867 for Joseph Grant came form the submitted entry to the IGI as did the info about his date of marriage.

i have to say thanks to everyone whos been replying really grateful for the help.


I had thought the same myself that possibly he could of been named after another child

I never found the death record and i searched for another family with
someone of the same name and never came up with anything, there are lots of carys in the torquay st marychurch and surrounding areas

I dont think its different families the elder of the two the father his mothers maiden name was grant, i think from memory and hes named his son after him.

The info was from the same site i believe, i just wish i kept records of where everything came from! A lady had helped me out on another site as well so it could of been via her

regards Lisa
