Thank you for your reply's.
I did see the servant one but was'nt sure about it but it's very possable.
I sent for the 1857 certificate but not her ,i am now waiting on the other one you found and hopefully it will be here tomorrow..
Frances had numerouse children with Alfred but he was married before and was a widower at their marriage.He had a child Arthur A Blake born 1873 in Kilburn London.I have the birth certificate and the mothers name was Eliza Blake formerly Wood maiden name Brown, thats all i know about her and can't find any bmd for her .
Frances and Alfred had their first child in 1878 and although they named the child Blake ,Alfreds name was'nt on the certificate.
My theory is that Alfred had married Eliza and for some reason (maybe she was in an institute)had to wait for Eliza to die before marrying Frances as when they married they were at another Blake families house in Battersea ,so as Frances had already taken the Blake maybe even the children did'nt know they wer'nt married.
Can anyone find anything out about Eliza as well.
I might not have anyone royal in my family so far but dull their not .lol
