John BLOWER and Emma LUXFORD help please with both fathers.

I know! It's all so confusing. I was originally hoping just to confirm Emma Luxford and John Blowers parents on each side as richard Blower and James Luxford to see if I could go back further in the family tree but these Luxfords are quite a tangle!

Victoria Annie married 1919 West Ham Edwin J Babbage died Chelmsford 1974

Mary Ann Luxford /Greenwood marriage seems to tie her to William as father and Annie later with a Cook family.

Just registered with this site. Victoria Annie Blower was my grandmother. I'm trying to research her background. We've got quite a bit on my grandad Edwin Babbage.

I think we are related! I have Annie Blower is my great grand mother. ( I don't have her first name as Victoria) but if it is the same person she had 9 children with Thomas Blower. I have her eldest son Thomas as having descendents that married into the Babbage family( Thomas's daughter Margaret) I am descended from her daughter Rose who was my grandmother who married Frank Coyne. I have a copy of Thomas and Annie's marriage certificate 1897 in Hoxton and his birth certificate which gives his parents as John James Blower and Emma  Luxford 1874 St Luke's white cross street. Are you related To Ruby Collingsho lived in  looe ? I haven't figured out if it is possible to direct message each other but do be in touch if you find any more information on the Luxford/Blowers. As you can see in this thread I have got into a muddle with them and have got no further for sure.

Sorry. Got some of above wrong. Trying to post from memory rather than look at my research! Thomas married Margaret Babbage ( not his daughters) they had 3 children. Joyce, Ruby and Alan. Was just talking to my mother who remembers visiting Tomas and Margaret who were her Uncle and Auntie

Finally sorted this out. John J blower married Emma Luxford in 1870. They had ten children the last one was Victoria Ann in 1897 the same year EmmaLuxford/blower died. Their second son ( Victoria's elder brother was Thomas Blower born 1875. He went on to marry Annie Rapley and had a son also Thomas in 1898. This Thomas married Margaret Babbage who was Edwin Babbage's sister. So we have the Babbage brother and sister both marrying into the Blower Family.

That's really interesting Sue! I wasn't aware of it all. My elder sister Caroline has much more information than me, I'll call her in the morning and find out if she knew and what else we have.

That would be wonderful Mark. If your sister would like any of my research so far ask her to post here and then I can direct message her. Sue
