hi there does anyone know of the bleek family that lived in village of weston in the parish of weedon lois my g.grandfather lewin henry bleek was brought up in the village and his family apparently owned land and were farmers. Please does anyone have any pictures of the area where this farm may have been as I don't have a address as the census (1871) does not give one just the no. of schedule which is 9. apparently one of my g.grandfathers brothers frederick was also an inn keeper ?? i think thats what it says a bit difficult to read clarification would be great ? Any ideas of how I could find out

thanks pam i do have some of this info but I would love to find out which inn frederick was the keeper of plus the name of the farm if it had a name or the whereabouts of the farm. Lewin bleek (my g.grandfather ) was the saddler journeyman or harness maker and I have found him on the 1871 census twice once at his brothers farm as you have seen and the other in the town of towcester on the high street !! I wondered if he lived alone as I have found a marriage between himself and a caroline barrett in 1866 ( not my g.grandmother) but don't see her anywhere until 1881 when she classes herself as a widow ( but he was not dead I think he may have left her or she him) once again many thanks babs
