Thanks so much for all this information. I'm still trying to find my way round the site to a certain extent. Looks like there are relatives fairly close by that we knew nothing about. Just giving my brain a rest! Loads to take in.
Can't thank everyone enough. <3 <3

Grandfather born 25/12/1893
Parents: William Blencowe and Theresa Carpenter. Still trying to find more about his mother. I believe she died quite young and that is why she is not on the 1911 census. Hope this helps
