Bleasdale in Preston. If you fancy a challenge.

Hi,

Further to the 1861 Census family I listed above, I have now found a marriage for John Bleasdale in 1877.

29th Oct 1877 St. George, Preston

John Bleasdale - Blacksmith aged 25 of 21 Mount Pleasant, Preston (this is the right age for the John Bleasdale in the 1861 Census i.e. 1852).
father William Bleasdale, cutter.

married

Elizabeth Wearden 22 servant spinster of 6 Mount Pleasant, Preston
father James Wearden, collier.

Witnesses William Blundell and Martha Blundell.

Address of both parties is interesting: Mount Pleasant - this was the address given for
David Callwell at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Bleasdale in 1865?

Just a thought...

This family are like pulling teeth.

I know!!

Forgot to mention that in the marriage of John Bleasdale to Elizabeth Wearden, father William Bleasdale is described as `the late William Bleasdale`.

So, this being the case he must have died between Elizabeth`s marriage to David in 1865 and John`s marriage to Elizabeth in 1877.

The only deaths that come up on Lancs BMD in that time period are a couple of possible ones in Lancaster. I was hoping it might have been Preston.....

The William Bleasdale who died in Lancaster in 1875 was the suicide of the hairdresser born there in 1815 married to an Ann.

So definitely not that one. Which was the likely looking one.

That said this is a posibility

Burial: 21 Jun 1867 St Mary, Lancaster, Lancashire, England
William Bleasdale -
    Age: 55
    Abode: Damside Street
    Notes: E. S. [In Margin]

because damside st is only around the corner from bridge lane and castle hill which might make these two of his children. Though where fanny was hiding on the 1861 i don't know.


Marriage: 13 Sep 1866 St Mary, Lancaster, Lancashire, England
David Boid - (X), 21 Bread Baker Bachelor of China Lane
Mary Ann Bleasdale - (X), 19 Spinster of Bridge Lane
    Groom's Father: John Boid, Labourer
    Bride's Father: William Bleasdale, Labourer
    Witness: Bridget Lofthouse, (X); John Beckett

Snap..I`d just noticed the Mary Ann to David Boid (wonder if that is Boyd?). Father William is a labourer but the other one, marriage of Fanny her Father William is a `card master`, just wondering if that is a bit of a leap from labourer to cardmaster in the space of 3 months between the marriages?

Both Mary Ann and Fanny are 19 as well?

I have found a marriage in 1843 in Crosthwaite, Cumberland of a William Bleasdale and Mary Carrigan,
sounds Irish?
Father of William Bleasdale was John Bleasdale (Williams son was named John).
The 1843 marriage would fit in with the births of the 3 children 1846, 1848 and 1852?

This is beginning to annoy me now!!

I've been looking for that.

The elizabeth bleasdale born 1846 at lancaster has mother's maiden name of Carragan.

[barneyrubble]

I`ve been trying to find the family in 1851, Elizabeth and Mary Ann were both born before that census but just can`t find them anywhere...

Glad you found that marriage anyway.
