Hi, Jan....you are turning up everywhere today!!!!
Don't think that we will find them as i tried all kinds of things like misspells and just last names no counties at all....Blount Bland Blund...
You are all really super at this! What a site this is, with so many wonderful genealogists. I often have trouble keeping up! J.J.

Oh, Hi...Monica...
I just read up to see another post from you! Thanks for the compliment!
My mum was an artist until her very last stroke a few years back ( that section of the brain was affected) ...That's why we knew about Henry.
She was always very proud of her Grandfather's uncle. I am sure she knew he died young, but I waited too long to try gleaning information from her!
My horrorscope illustrations made me all of $25.00 a cartoon...and it often
took me over 5 hours....so it wasn't a lucrative job...but it was a lot of fun!
I am afraid that I am not a very good saleperson for myself as a freelance
artist. I had imagined myself illustrating books and drawing people's children
for a living. Ah, well, it's still a lovely hobby and I enjoy it very much!
J.J.

Thankyou again to all...and many cyber hugs!!!
Re: my branch of the tree...Here is an old post with the whole family listed....Jan is going to take some shots for me at St. Chad's. Am I allowed to post another thread's link...I suppose I will find out soon enough!!!
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,67302.msg274336.html#msg274336
I like to see down all the paths, which may be weird, but I am just interested in the families...I never would have found that Agnes, Henry's daughter was also an artist, otherwise...and that is a fun thing to know! Great Grandpa had a huge orchard...Mom grew a garden full of every fruit she could grow in her Province.(Saskatchewan, Canada... It's cold here in the winter)...he inspired her to do this, she always said...
and looking down another family, I found that her cousin also was a fruit farmer...
She loves to hear these things! Jeany (J.J.)

You all were so wonderful to help me when I was a MEGGA-noobie ( I'll always be a NEWBIE) Have to share this....
I have found something very exciting....I need to find out if this is the same Henry, although not proven, the fact that they were a family of science does point to it being about the same man!
I need to get a copy of this publication so I can find out for sure...!
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2000A&G....41a...6H
"An unrecorded Shropshire modeller of the Moon. This model of the surface of the Moon, made by Henry Blunt, surfaced among the Society’s photographic ..."
Many hugs to all of you....J.J.

I forgot to mention that I have written the Darwin site and they have added henry's date of death...thanks to all your hard work and sleuthing on my behalf.
I just found this, so seems it is our man as it states the date of his death....but still want the publication...."about Henry Blunt (d.1853) & his models of the lunar surface"
http://www.aas.org/had/bibliographies/bibliography2000-04.pdf
and this site say "an apothecary in Shrewsbury" so it is his work!!!!

Thought I'd dig on the LDS site for 1881 once again...and still came up empty, not that it's a big deal, as they are found on the other censuses....
but this (extracted) was now added to the IGI along with more Blunts I was looking for
Martha Blunt - Chr: Nov. 26, 1837 Saint Julian, Shrewsbury
Henry Blunt - born Dec 4, 1839 Chr: Jan 5 1840 " "
Emily Blunt - born Feb. 5, 1843 Chr: Mar 19 1843 " "
Agnes Blunt - born March 18 1845 Chr: May 8 " "
not extracted files:
Ellen Martha Blunt - Chr:July 17, 1846 Shropshire
Anne Blunt - Chr: August 24 1851 Shrewsbury
Awe...So they had ( and lost) 2 other children previously
Birth December Q. 1837 Martha Blunt Shrewsbury 18 / 131
Death March Q. 1838 Martha Blunt Shrewsbury 18 / 164
Birth December Q. 1839 Henry Blunt Shrewsbury 18 / 166
Death March Q. 1840 Henry Blunt Shrewsbury 18 / 157
So they were married before the registration...Hmmm...I wonder if it was back in Middlesex, then....Does anyone think I should post on the board there?

 Ohhhh, Thanks, Pete...
Haven't made any connection to Shrewsbury prior to my direct line moving there from Surrey/Middlesex region in early part of 19th century...They may have just needed a Pharmacist/Chemist/Analyst....but there may have been a pull of family....Would love to get back further ...Thanks so very much for all that! Hopefully something connects one day. I also see a Porter surname in there....( Thomas W. Blunt , Henry's brother, married a Porter) so you never know ?
all the very best! 
J.J.
