The correct spelling is Blanshard but the Blanchard spelling is more common and down to the person who writes it down, such as at Census.

'Blue Dragoon' appears to have been researching William as well.

The marriage between Leonard Beaman and Miriam Blanshard was   that of my parents. His first wife was also a MIriam - how is that for weird?

There is a good deal of confusion over Denis/George W's first name.  When I tried to discover something about his RAF career and contacted the RAF Records- they had no record of a George W Beaman but had a record of a Denis Beaman which fitted. Unfortuately, my father died many years ago, so I will never know the answer. My mother was his second wife.    AJB

I noticed that 'Blue Dragoon' showed him as an interested party- Lemington Glassworks was one of my ancestors workplaces in the early 19th century.

Sandra     I never met him as I was born in 1940. I have a photograph of him with  a young lady who I believe he was engaged to. Would love to know who she was. Don't suppose I will ever know.  T

My half brother- Denis Beaman served in the  RAF during WW2. He was killed in a freak flying accident in March 1942 in Singapore. He came from Southport,, Lancashire and was the eldest son of Leonard and Miriam Beaman.     A J Beaman

My great2 grandfather was born in Gateshead in 1782 and worked at the Lemington Glass Works in Newcastle before moving to South Shields where he was employed by Cooksons. He appeared to have been 'head hunted' by the recently formed Pilkington Glass Company in St Helens where he was appointed Works Manager in 1930. He died in St Helens aged 73 in 1860.   A J Beaman
