Hi,
I'm directly descended from William Bliss and Abigail Folwell of Flore, Northants.
Below is the tip of my Bliss part of the tree I have thus far :
John Bliss == Elizabeth Cross
b 1699
Hardingstone, Northants
William Bliss == Jane Shortland
b 1724
Flore, Northants
William Bliss == Elizabeth Ashby
William Bliss == Abigail Folwell
b 1773
Adstone/Flore.Northants
There's a lot of Bliss details on the web, but mostly of those who ended up in America. I've yet to tie the
above up with the US connections, and I've reached a bit of a dead end.
I have contacted the Bliss Family History Society, but they don't have any electronic data and didn't seem to
have anything additional to add to what I have already. But I know there's out there...
The earliest Blisses are described by Aaron Tyler Bliss in Genealogy of the Bliss Family in America, but it's
not available on-line and copies to purchase are a little expensive. I know from the parial Google Book
searches that are possible that this book mentions relevant names (e.g. Abigail Folwell), but I can't get to
the content. So information does exist out there, but none of it seems available on-line.
So...if anyone can help me with these Bliss's, I would have a very good Christmas indeed ! :-)
Thanks,
-Kevin Standage
