info submitted by
sue.lees@virgin.net . Hi, can anyone help in tracing my blackwell family. East India. The only thing
I know for certain is that my great great grandmother sarah blackwell was born
in east india between 1839-1843 she married a james bertenshaw born 1836 in
droylsden lancashire great britain, on the 1881british census he is classed has
an army pensioner aged 45. They did however have some children born in india.
elizabeth born in 1866 east indies, james jnr born 1869 east indies and francis
born 5.4.1872 east indies. on the 1901 census it gives james's place of birth
has bombay india. I also know that there was a harriet who i presume would have
been a blackwell originally but who at 23 was married to a john thomas byrom and
on the 1881 census were living in droylsden lancashire england but harriet was
too born in the west indies. Harriet and john thomas byrom had a sarah a
bertenshaw living with them but we think it was a susannah bertenshaw who was
our great grandmother. She later married my great grandfather edward walker in
1900. ashton-under-lyne lancashire england.
I would love anyone to write to me if they have any info on my blackwell
bertenshaw.

I am seeking help and information on the search for my G G Grandmother. Her name was Georgina Early Blackwell. She was born Dec.31,1843 in India and died here in 1929 in Massachusetts. I do not have her parents name, but I was told her fathers name may have been Bill or Thomas. I was also told that her father was English. She married a Thomas Whatmore/Henry Gamble born between 1800-1843, died between 1900-1930 in Oldham England. He was told to be born in Bombay? Supposedly he had changed his name from T.Whatmore to H.Gamble because of changing regiments in the service. Any help will do. Jean Jbates062@cs.com
