Richard Bloy, born about 1708

[Neil1952]

Thank you - I did have it but not the previous marriage: Richard Bloy had a son Robert by his first marriage to Catherine Potter, so perhaps Robert and Elizabeth Potter were cousins? In 1755 Robert the son would have about 17.

Hi Neil

Did you know there is a Will for Richard Bloy 1773

In it he mentions his daughter Catherine and oldest sons Richard and Robert and also his youngest sons James and Francis.

Hi Yokel,
Yes, I do know there is a will for Richard, but unfortunately do not have a copy: do you know how I can access it?

Hi Trish,
Thank you.
Did not know about Mary and John, but did have the others.
Just need to find a link between the Mulbarton family and my family in Morningthorpe.
