lol!, they probably come from the same mould!!..because I have done it all by guess work, I have him sitting there going 'no thats not right'..but there on the census it has all the answers!! (I would say 99% proof anyway!)

And then there is the 'they change there surname, they wasn't always blakes' so I ask him, he doesn't know...but then him and his girlfriend are a little simple and of course John (father in law), wasn't always a Blake, he had it changed because he was adopted by his grandparents when his mother died!...but no the surname was changed!!!

oh it's not the knowing how to find that is the problem, it's the lack of info from him, or the wrong info!, you know the kind, 'oh her name was nell' so you look for a nell, ellen or whatever to be told a week later 'oh no her name was actually hilda!' ahhh!!!
and plus all his family (and mine), havent got many rellies by th looks of it!, sure in the 1800's swarming with them, but now?
