Charles# BLANCHARD

  General Notes:

Had doubts which Charles Blanchard out of several possibilities. But this one living in West Barkwith (where Eliza Caborn comes from) in 1901 - 2 years before they got married, so 90% sure it's the correct person. In 1901 Eliza was living in East Barkwith. Also (later on) re-occurence on names Joseph and Robert.

1918; His profession on William Francis' birth certificate is 'Farm Shepherd'. Family were living at Mareham-on-the-Hill when William Francis was born.

Have congratulations telegraph to William and Doris in Oct '41- presumably congrats on marriage. Is from 'Mother, Dad, Grace and John'. Not sure who Grace and John are ? Presumably he was still alive therefore in 1941.
