looking for info on George and Maria Blace.

children. George jr., Michael, Catherine, Sarah, Mary Ann, Rebekkah, Samuel B.

George b abt 1823 France
died. about 1866 Iowa, USA

also lived in Ontario, Canada

Maria. b. about 1835 New York State, their son George was born in Ontario...July 1850

I assume you are looking for info about George & Maria going back from Iowa and that you have the information on the children going foward?

====

Food for thought

A couple things have caught my eye.
In the 1860 census the closeness in age between Mary and John is only 13 years? Is she the mother?
Also sons John & George are listed as being born in Canada West.  Son Michael in Iowa?.

But in the 1870 census and those after, son Michael is listed being born in Canada also.

I think Mary(Marie) may not have been the mother of all those children and George was married previously?

This 1851 Canada West census caught my eye. It has a George of about the right age with sons named John, George & Michael about the same ages listed for the children in following censuses. He is married to an Eve and his POB is listed as the Netherlands.

1851 census: http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/1851/Pages/item.aspx?itemid=127157
Lines 34-38: http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1851_pdf/e095/e002366542.pdf

Could this be George & Eva's marriage?

hi i noticed and read the messages with the info ya with the post.1st sorry for duplicating stuff. the only info that i had about them was George and Amelia's daughter Harriet married Enest Sylverster Emery..their daughter Hazel is my grt grandma..m. edward j. lorenson..and their son is my grandpa Don Lorenson..i also know that some Blais(as some people type it) or Blase etc moved off to Alberta too

[mhanson84]

i noticed it too. it was the age diff that caught me off guard.esp with maria being b. in 1834-5 i think and George being b in 1851 she was really really young having kids there...which perhaps was normal back than..but still strange

[mhanson84]

George Blais b 1850-maybe 51 m. amelia ohms..according to census etc. b in Canada...Dad's name was William Ohms.. mom-Minnie Wilhelmina...both born in Germany.. William prob. died in Iowa..Minnie in Elgin, Oregon..Amelia's bros were living in Iowa... one of her bros names was Albert Ohms... now with the Blais..i know all the info from George and Amelia onward. well i mean how it regards to me...but scant info before..only what i saw on-line..thank you for filling in blanks tho..
