[quote author=J.J. . Still have not located one of the daughters.

Which daughter have you not located JJ? Emily Augusta?? There is an Emily Augusta Blunt in 1905
Wiltshire Asylum Registers, 1789-1921. It might not be her, but she does disappear from the census and it's quite a distinctive name. I don't have access to Findmypast to be able to find out anything further

ABNZ- All the best & good luck with your searches!!! I've helped my husband research his extensive family as well.

ILEXSALOPIA - Thanks so much for finding the info...as it does seem likely to be Emily - poor soul.
  I do not know what Henry Blunt died from...There were a few searches started from some of his descendants, but they didn't continue on. The Blunt crest shows a heavy gauntlet (partial forearm & hand) whereas yours shows a fully-armoured bent full arm, which is indeed used by many families.

-This is an old thread.  I started on this site 20 years ago & had a great deal of help from many people, but I'm no longer researching this family...I'll leave it to a younger generation.
Enjoy your searches!

ILEXSALOPIA- I don't know if I thanked you enough for having searched for our missing Emily. So very kind of you!
 I hope I wasn't answering in a mean way about my ancestor's crest.  Might be the "blunt" in me.
I'd always imagined it might have been a product of the imagination of a family artist (copying existing parts of favourite ones, of course, would not be out of the question.)...Perhaps even Henry Blunt, as my mother & I were amateur artists and so were always very proud of his marvelous work, despite the lack of recognition his work received.
