Sanderson Blakey, born Berwick Upon Tweed circa 1845

[dtcoulson]

Hi everybody,

can I ask someone to help me do a 'background check' on Mr Sanderson Blakey.
He appears in numerous censuses up to 1901 in B.U.T. but it is his parents I am interested in.
As I recall, they are William and Margaret. I am trying to find out where the Sanderson name came from. Perhaps it was the name or surname of a relative of the parents?

Thanks
David C

Google "Sanderson Blakey" - you will find his father was William Blakey and his mother Margaret Sanderson.
