Are you sure you are not just clutching at straws? There is no connection with Cornwall with Nelson and according to the latest census the family consisted of 6 living children, 3 boys, 3 girls none, apart from Nelson, names you have mentioned.

Hi,

I know this post is from several years ago but I have the information you need.

The gentleman you are looking for went by his mother's surname Hughes. He is my husband's great great grandfather. He has 2 sons named Nelson (mother unknown) and Sidney Hughes (mother: Betsy/bessie Orchard)

His parents were Silas Bland and Sarah Hughes. We have managed to find a large proportion of the bland family but we are stuck on Sarah Hughes.

Let me know if you want any more information I have some censuses and war records.

Best wishes
