Hi Shopper123, Not quite sure how to insert a link to a webpage so this might not work. This link https://www.google.com/maps/@54.1792088,-2.9282582,3a,75y,209.88h,85.58t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sYgSwvNp6ZCmiWkhfL_D3cg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DYgSwvNp6ZCmiWkhfL_D3cg%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D195.65195%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656 if it works shows the house they lived in up until Fred died 1976 and then his wife in 1977. I have sent you a personal message with my email address don't know if you got it. Regards Roy

Hi Shopper123, this is excellent you are the first direct family I have been in touch with from those who moved to Withington, I do have a family tree on Ancestry  (under R Bland family tree ) although I am no longer a member and it is not fully up to date. William Edward was my father, both he and Sid moved to Flookburgh where I now live and Fred lived in the family home at Greaveswood Lodge near Cardrona Road just outside Grange. I wonder why you visited Grange did you know they used to live here or was it just coincidence? Must go now but more to tell

Goodness this is from a while back, they did move from Scotland to Allithwaite near Grange over Sands in Cumbria where both William and Isabela are buried. They had four children William, Nathaniel, Andrew and Grace, Andrew died in 1884 the other three all eventually moved to Withington Manchester looking for work. My grandfather was Albert Bland, Nathaniel's son, he stayed in Allithwaite with his grandparents William and Isabela and our side of the family still live in this area. It would be of interest to know where you live as I have never been in touch with the Manchester side of the family. For a long time they always used the name McMinn in the Christian name of their children which was always very helpful, hope this has been of help.

Regards Roy Bland

Hi bluerenwick
It is interesting that you are from Salford when two of my ancestors William and Nathan Bland ( my GGGrandfather) went to Withington Lancashire after a brief time in Allithwaite Grange-over-Sands, presumably looking for work in the building trade

Message to bluerenwick. I have only just registered on RootsChat so cannot send you a PM yet, more than willing to help, could you reply to this post with more info. I think after I have made 3 posts total I will be able to send PM's?

An old thread this from Oct 2007 by Waterfall2007, but I could really fill in some blanks about William and Isabella Bland after they moved to Cart Lane Seawood Cottage, Upper and Lower Allithwiate, Lancashire, William Bland was my GGGGrandfather. Just revisiting my family tree and came across this so if you see it do reply please.

regards SilverSprat
