Did John (junior) marry Martha Park nee Knowles on 10 Feb 1861 at Halsall?

In 1871 he appears to have become a wheelwright on New Street, Halsall I wonder when he passed away? Was he buried: 02 Mar 1883 in Ormskirk as John Blundell , Age: 54 ???

Just trying to connect some rogue branches - thanks!

Not sure if you had this:-

1871 Census William BLUNDELL Age 47 Boarder Wheelwright Widowed living at 7 Corbett Street Toxteth Park.

John BLUNDELL Wheelwright at New St Halsall in 1861 is the father born c 1799 (age 62). Daughter Mary age 38 fits.

thanks for that but I'm not finding it on ancestry - do you have the 1871 ref or other occupants - I'm afraid I'm drawing a blank on ancestry search!

thank you I've found the 1861 entry no problem,

best wishes,

Ian

thanks for that - I don't know why it didn't work at this end!

best wishes!

John appears to have married Martha Knowles. Could this be his burial?

Burial: 26 Dec 1878 St Cuthbert, Halsall, Lancashire, England
John Blundell -
Age: 56
Abode: Halsall
Buried by: T. Blundell Rector

thanks for that one too!

I'll look into it.

best wishes!

Not what you were asking, but my ancestor married a Richard Barton Blundell in 1906, father John Blundell, at St Philip's Church Litherland. Any link with yours?
