Find Living Relatives

I am looking for any living relatives of William Aratio Rodney Blake born 1908, Doris May Blake born 1907 or Albert Joseph Edward Blake born 1903. All were siblings to my grandad Henry Charles Wilkinson Blake born in 1904 and I would like to find any cousins that my dad may have. :-D

Welcome to the boards Vivienne.
Firstly, I suggest you put all names you have into 'search all trees' (found in search box above) to see if anyone shares this family.
You can also check for marriages using freebmd:

And if all else fails, consider getting this death cert to see who the informant was - I think the name must be Horatio really?

Hi Viv,
There maybe a couple of children if this marriage above is the correct one - a Gladys born 1925 and Joseph A probably Albert born 1930. Haven't found anything on them yet. Jo

Have sent PM to Vivienne re. getting back here - she has only ever posted once and presumably is not aware of replies.

Hi, I'm looking for members of the Blake family,Plymouth who are descended from George Blake and Elizabeth Northey, originally from Tavistock marrying there abt 1852.their son George ,moved to Plymouth,married Mary? And had Harold and George? And daughter Elizabeth but called Bessie who I don't think married.George senior was printer and one son was iron moulder.any help would be grateful.children would have been born abt 1880s, thanks

Elaine -

As this is a different Blake family from the one Vivienne started this thread about in 2013, it might be better if you start a new thread of your own, to avoid confusion.

Have you found your Blakes on any censuses? Where were they living in the various census years?
What are the years of birth of these people?

They're not instantly jumping out at me from census records - too many people with the same names.

Is this George and Mary in Plymouth??
