Hi   I have been looking for the birth place of William Blackstone born 1773, some think he was born in the West Country, I can only trace him to Eltham and Bexley, Kent
He was married to Elizabeth.   Really need some help with this.

Hi I am searching for the family of Mary Roberts born 1896 in Anglesey, she was my grandmother.  Her father was Hughie Roberts (occupation-Fireman), I dont have her mother's name but I do know that after Hughie died she married into the Jones family and moved to Holyhead.

Mary married george Price in Sidcup, Kent in 1924,

 Can help with my search for my Welsh ancestry.

Thanks
Pat

Lots of us are looking for him, and no-one has found him yet. I actually think it was a mis-hearing of Westerham. The Sloper family seem to have arrived in Eltham at about the same time as the Blackstones, and they originate near there. William Sloper married William and Elizabeth's daughter Sarah, and took on her illegitimate son Thomas, so I get the feeling the families were close friends.
There were very few Blackstones in the West of England at that time, but quite a big bunch of them in East Grinstead, and William seems more likely to have wandered north from there, but I can't find evidence for it.
