Has anyone got access to the Lambeth Census records for 1841 & 1851? I am looking for Richard Blake on both, but he would have different wives...
Richard Blake b.1813 in Lambeth was my 3xGreat Grandfather. His wedding certificate arrived today and it shows his marriage to Martha Tungate b.1823 on 12th January 1845 in St Mary Lambeth. What I didn't know before today is that Richard had been married before as he is listed as a widower. What I need to know now is who is first wife could have possibly been! I don't believe they would've had any children as I have his eldest son's birth certificate and Richard & Martha are shown as parents. Maybe his first wife died in childbirth along with the child? Who knows? Yet...
Richard's Father was William Henry Blake (dec. by 1845). I have no further information on him other than he was married to a Sarah. Any information anyone can dredge up on him would be most welcome too!
Thanks to anyone who can help!
Regards, Emma
