BLIGH family Cornwall, look up please

[charland]

Hello

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to help me.

I am researching my friend's family tree for him.

I have a record of an Ann Bligh (1837-1900) born in Egloshayle Cornwall.  According to the 1841 census Ann was living with her father William b1796 and Mother Mary b1901.

I do not have access to parish records and am interested in searching the family back further. In particular, I am
interested in the names of William Bligh's parents/grandparents and Mary's maiden name.

As they are in the same area I am hoping that this Bligh family is related to that of William Bligh (Captain of the Bounty) born in St Tudy in 1754.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Charland

Thank you both for your information.

I was just wondering if your information shows where William, John
or Mary were born.

Many thanks

Hi,

I have a HAROLD RAYMOND BLIGH, as a witness, for my Grandparents marriage, in Roche, St Austell, Cornwall, 1935.  My father, was named after him.
My grandfather, was from Blisland, Bodmin, Cornwall.  Harold, was his best friend, was wondering, if you had the Bligh name in your family ?

thanks
