[suziq]

Hi
I'm looking for any info that there may be on the Blandford family
Charles Blandford b. @ 1873
Minnie Blandford b. @ 1872
Charles Blandford b. @ 1897
Catherine (seems to be known as Marjorie) Blandford b. @ 1907
all born in Sussex, England
They seem to go back and forth from 1913 when they sailed from Liverpool to Montreal

Many thanks in anticipation

Hi Suziq:

I did some looking on the Henderson Winnipeg City Directories. Found some listings that seem likely for your Charles Blandfords:

1920:  Blandford Chas lab r 705 Strathcona
1921:  Blandford Chas painter r 121 Dagmar
1926:  Blandford Chas painter r 258 Cathedral
1927:  Blandford Chas mech r 416 Spence
1930:  Blandford Chas radio service Wpg Piano h 239 Ronald
1931:  Blandford Chas A radio repr Wpg Piano h 376 Hampton
1932:  Blandford Chas radio repr Wpg Piano r 76 Vivan

Using the addresses for 1920/21 I checked the 1921 Census but did not find any Blandfords at either of those addresses.

These were the only Blandford listings in the directories for those years and by 1944 and 1947 the only Blandford was named John (H). That changes again by 1955 where the only Blandfords are named Cyril, Francis W, John H, and Angela.
