<br />
This booklet has been long in the making - and I still have more to be done. However, I've decided to put together what I now have.<br />
<br />
While I was looking at the <a href="http://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/10/1860-us-federal-census.html">Wisconsin Federal Census of 1860</a>, Portage County, for my mother's Roe ancestors, I accidentally came across the Blakey family - a surprise since my Grandfather George supposedly was born in Hayward, Wis. The census (a copy is included here) shows Henry and Jemima, an older couple Edward and Margaret (Henry's parents), and James all born in England and Emily born in Wis.<br />
<br />
By the <a href="http://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/10/1870-us-federal-census.html">1870 Federal Census</a>, they had moved to Jackson County, Minnesota - Emily had died and George had been born (in Wis.) Edward was listed alone, indicating his wife Margaret had died (I did find in the <a href="http://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/10/us-federal-census-mortality-schedule.html">Mortality Schedule</a> that she died in February of that year). Family tradition says that both Margaret and Emily were buried on the family farm.<br />
<br />
By 1880, <a href="http://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/10/1880-us-federal-census-james-and.html">James had married</a> and was listed with his wife; <a href="http://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/10/1880-us-federal-census.html">Henry and Jemima</a> were listed with George and Will, their third son. Edward had remarried a Martha Haggard (a relative of James wife?) and had four children. I have found no trace of them anywhere.<br />
<br />
An <a href="http://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/11/affidavit-of-henry-and-sarah-blakey-22.html">affidavit</a> attached to a land record in 1904 states that in 1882 Edward left his family and returned to England, dying there in 1889. I have yet to verify that.<br />
<br />
Besides the Census, I have included copies of obituaries (not every statement in obits. is accurate), and pictures, plus computer printouts of descendants. I would appreciate corrections, additions, suggestions, help in research, etc.<br />

<b>UPDATE (31 Jan 2020)</b>: I received <a href="https://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/12/death-of-edward-blakey-14-nov-1886.html" target="_blank">Edward BLAKEY's death certificate</a> in the mail yesterday. The affidavit was incorrect. Edward died on 14 Nov 1886. He was living on the same street in Bradford as his daughter, Eliza, and her husband, William Hanson. The informant on the certificate was their daughter Harriet (Hanson) Littleson. Mark D.

Below is a map of Bradford and also the neighboring county of Lancashire from where we discovered that Henry's ancestors came.<br />

Without realizing it at the time, the key to unlocking this information was in the <a href="http://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2009/10/1860-us-federal-census.html" target="_blank"><i>1860 US Census</i></a> where the family's surname was listed as "BLAKOW" (pronounced BLAY-koh).<br />
<br />
Searches in the <i>Ancestry.com</i> database provided census material in Yorkshire for 1841 and 1851. Along with other documents and records, we were slowly able to piece together the most probable ancestry of Henry Blakey back several generations more than previously had been known. Below is a chart tracing Henry's ancestry back six generations. The records use several variant spellings of "BLAKOW" including: BLACKO, BLACKOE, BLACKOW, BLACOE, BLACOW, and BLAIKOE. For convenience, and because it seems to have been one of the most common spellings, we have decided to adopt "BLACKOW" for all of Edward's paternal ancestors.<br />

<br />
Blacow is a locational surname from the Blacko area of Lancashire, which was in medieval times merely a scattering of farms with no hamlet or town. It is located in the north of the county a couple of miles north of Nelson, northwest of Colne, and east of Clitheroe. (See the red pin on the map below.) <br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n70atR9Imp0/XgfruEkyLdI/AAAAAAAAHow/RqYkYyiEjsUXoNGaPptPHMq6fXTosqXhACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Blacko%2BMap.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="1000" height="167" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n70atR9Imp0/XgfruEkyLdI/AAAAAAAAHow/RqYkYyiEjsUXoNGaPptPHMq6fXTosqXhACLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Blacko%2BMap.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: 78%;">Map of Blacko, Lancashire, England and surrounding areas. Image courtesy of <i>Google Maps.</i></span><br />
<br />
<b>Blacow:</b> <i>Blaec Howe</i>: White Hill. (White used for pale or shining--there was no word for white in Anglo-Saxon, also the root of the word "bleach.")<br />
<br />
<b>Blakey:</b> <i>Blaec Hey</i>: White Border/Boundary.
Blacko Hill is a limestone outcrop, and shows evidence of extensive ancient quarrying--the source of the name "White Hill." <br />
<br />
The Anglo-Saxon word for "black" was "blac" and has confused translators for centuries, with many names now being re-translated as "white." The Black Dyke, for example, should be called the "White Dyke" as a lot of it was made of limestone.<br />
<br />
Note that the ancient Black Dyke (the northern boundary of the old Anglo-Saxon country of Mercia) ran up and over one side of what is now Blacko Hill. The most prominent family of the area was Blakey, of Blakey Hall. There are several more areas in Yorkshire that produced the same name for the same reason, so there are many more Blakeys from and in Yorkshire than Lancashire.<br />
<br />
The oldest document I have for a Blacow in Goosnargh is from 1526, and was for a Christopher Blakho. There are many other records found dating into the 1600s where similar spellings show that the "h" in "howe" was still being pronounced.<br />
<br />
Being a locational surname, the Blacows in Lancashire are not necessarily related.

<br />
This was such an integral part of life from medieval times until the late 1800s that it is never talked about except by us genealogists. It was how our ancestors showed honour to their parents, and if a child named after the parents died, the next one was given that name again. This custom was undoubtedly held in place by community pressure as any deviation would cause comment and speculation.<br />
<br />
Once people moved to urban centres the naming pattern usually breaks down within a generation, as it also does after emigration to far away colonies. By the late 1800’s the naming pattern was used occasionally by traditionalist families, and then mostly in the country side - the north of England and Scotland were the strongest holdouts for change of the naming pattern.<br />
<br />
<b>Naming Pattern: </b><br />
<ul>
<li>1st son named after his father’s father </li>
<li>2nd son named after his mother’s father </li>
<li>3rd son named after his father </li>
<li>Any further sons were named after their parents’ brothers</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>1st daughter named after her mother’s mother </li>
<li>2nd daughter named after her father’s mother </li>
<li>3rd daughter after her mother </li>
<li>Any further daughters were named after their parents’ sisters </li>
</ul>
<b>Important exceptions:</b><br />
<br />
1. First son named after his mother’s father:<br />
<ul>
<li>could be a suspected (or known) illegitimate child (check baptism record against marriage date)</li>
<li>the father already has a son named after his father from previous unknown marriage or an illegitimate son</li>
<li>there is a really bad break between the son’s father and his grandfather </li>
</ul>
2. First daughter named after her father’s mother is quite common as young married couples often lived with his parents. In this case the second daughter would get her mother’s mother’s name.<br />
<br />
3. If you see a name that has a middle name, it is usually the surname of a person the child is named for, for example Isaac Warbrick Bamber – Isaac Warbrick was the name of the man he was named for. Individual middle names didn’t come into fashion until the very late 1800s.<br />
<br />
Thus the naming pattern of their children can be used as a good guide to a couple’s parents’ names. It is most important that you have as complete a list of confirmed children as possible, and if you see names being repeated in a list of children, then you know that they are almost certainly the couple’s parents’ names.

Catterall is a small village about 1.5 miles south and a little east of Garstang in Lancashire, England.<br />

<br />
Unfortunately we don't know at this time to whom Richard BLACKOW was married or much else about him. There are no other records until the 1767 Returns of Papists (Worrall, 1980, V. 1, 108.) when we find him in Cabus as "Rich BLACOE" living with his son, Joseph.<br />
<br />
Richard BLAKOE died in 1776. We are trying to acquire a copy of his will from the Lancashire Archives, but recently found a transcript of another researcher's copy on a <a href="https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=765780.msg6176948#msg6176948" target="_blank">Rootschat forum</a> online. It reads as follows:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 85%;">
This is the last will and testament of Richard Blakoe of Snape Wood in Cabus in the parish of Garstang and County of Lancaster, yeoman by him made this 20th day of August in the year of our Lord 1776.<br />
<br />
First it is my will and mind that all my left debts & funeral expenses together with the probate of this my will be first of all fully discharged by my executors & executrix, hereafter nominated & appointed and I do subject all my effects to the full payment & discharge of the same.<br />
<br />
I also give to my niece Catharine Kilshaw of Sandholme and John Baines in the Forest of Wyredale the sum of £201 and it is my will and mind that £150 due to me from my son in law John Baines of Sandholme be called in for the discharge of the said legacy. All the residuary part & surplus of my effects of what kind nature or quality so ever, I give, bequeath & divide to my son Joseph Blakoe.<br />
<br />
Lastly I nominate, constitute and appoint my son Joseph Blakoe, John Baines of Wyredale aforesaid & my niece Catherine Kilshaw executors & executrix of this my will.<br />
<br />
And this I declare to be my last will and testament & do hereby revoke all & every other will here before made by me any time in witness whereof I Richard Blakoe the Testator above named here unto subscribed my hand & seal the day & year above written.<br />
<br />
Signed sealed published & declared by Richard Blakoe the Testator above named as and for his last Will & Testament in the presence of us who subscribed our names as witnesses here unto his request in his sight & presence & in the sight and presence of each other.<br />
<br />
Witnesses John Serjeant & Thomas Corbis [Corlis?]<br />
<br />
Signed with mark & seal<br />

<br />
1st September 1776<br />
Joseph Blacow and Catherine Kilshaw two of the executors in this will named were sworn will and faithfully to execute and perform the same and so forth (Power being reserved for John Baines the other executor in the said will named) before me<br />
James Fisher Surrogate[/i]</span></blockquote>
Certainly it confirms the year of his death, as well as Joseph as his son, and John Baines as his son-in-law. We are still trying to determine how his niece Catherine Kilshaw is related.<br />
<br />
Richard BLACOW was buried at St. Helen's, Garstang, Lancashire on 1 Sep 1776 according to the parish records.<br />

Unfortunately we have not found a baptismal record as of yet, but his burial records state that he was 66 years old in 1809 which would put his birth at around 1743. His father was Richard BLACKOW of Cabus. The name of his mother is still unknown.<br />
<br />
On 23 Sep 1765 Joseph married Alice Park of Roseacre in Kirkham, Lancashire according to the Lancashire parish registers. Banns of marriage are a "public legal notice made in a church proclaiming an intention of impending marriage with the object that persons aware of any impediment to the marriage may make their objection known." (<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/banns-of-marriage"><i>Britannica.com</i></a>)<br />

<br />
Of note is that the ceremony was witnessed by his brother, Henry BLAKOE, and a William Park, an unknown, but probable relative of the bride. Also of note is that Joseph is described as a husbandman, which at that time was a free tenant farmer or small landowner. The bishop's transcript doesn't supply any additional information, but corroborates the date.<br />

<br />
Some time in 1766, Joseph and Alice had a son who they named Richard following the tradition of naming the first son after his paternal grandfather. Sadly Alice may have died in childbirth. The Garstang parish records indicate the burial at St. Helen's Church of (interestingly) an "Ellin," wife of Joseph BLACKOW/BLEAKOW of Cabus on 22 Sep 1766, almost their first year anniversary. The reason for the name change is unknown, but it seems most probable that it is the same woman.<br />

<br />
The following year both Joseph, 25, and his father "Rich" BLACOE, 61, are listed together as husbandmen residing for 20 years in Cabus, Garstang, Lancashire in the 1767 Returns of Papists (Worrall, 1980, V. 1, 108.) Joseph's one-year-old son, Richard, is living with his aunt and uncle in Barnacre with Bonds, Garstang.<br />
<br />

Joseph and Dorothy had at least three children: Ann (b. 1772), who married George Rogerson; Jennet (d. 1776); and Peggy (d. 1787). Unfortunately we do not know a whole lot about them. Dorothy died in 1797 and was buried 20 Dec 1797 according to the parish records and <a href="https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=9840&h=2118826&ssrc=pt&tid=12945536&pid=122127662622&usePUB=true"><i>Ancestry.com</i> database</a>.<br />

<br />
By the time of Dorothy's death, Joseph was 54 and living in Claughton, about two and a half miles south of Garstang. Two months later on 20 Feb 1798 he signed another bond indicating his intention to marry Elizabeth "Betty" Threlfall. Henry Baines was Joseph's nephew, the son of his sister Mary.<br />

<br />
A few months later on 19 May 1798, it appears that Joseph fathered an illegitimate child, Henry, with a Jane Smith. The <a href="https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=9841&h=45292595&ssrc=pt&tid=12945536&pid=122153243805&usePUB=true">record</a> doesn't specify whether his surname was BLACKOE or Smith. The child would have had to have been conceived around July 1797 before his previous wife Dorothy had passed away. <br />
<br />
Joseph lived another eleven years and died in 1809. He was <a href="https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=9840&h=12267671&ssrc=pt&tid=12945536&pid=122127575211&usePUB=true" target="_blank">buried</a> at St. Helen's in Garstang parish, Lancashire on 17 Oct 1809.<br />

But if my said wife happens to marry again it is my Will that after such second Marriage the said Annuity of Twenty Pounds shall cease and terminate. And my said Trustees may allow my wife to take and use during the Term of her natural Life one Bed, Bedsteads, and suitable Bedding for the same at her own choice and as much of my Household Furniture as they may think sufficient to furnish a Room and at her decease to give the said Furniture either to my Son, Richard, or my daughter, Ann, as my wife shall appoint by Will or otherwise during her Lifetime.<br />
<br />
And upon Trust that my said Trustees, or the Survivors of them, or the Heirs, Executors, or Administrators of such Survivor, shall and do pay or cause to be paid unto my Son, Richard Blackoe, and Peggy,<sup>8</sup> his wife, yearly and every year during the Term of their natural Lives and the Life of the Survivor of them, the yearly Interest of the Sum of Two Hundred Pounds.

But in case the said Henry Smith shall depart this Life before he attains to the Age of Twenty-one years, it is my Will and Mind that the said Legacy or Sum of Two hundred Pounds shall become and be deemed to be part of my residuary Estate.<br />
<br />
It is also my Will and mind that my Trustees shall and do pay to the Reverend John Barrow of Garstang the Sum of Ten Pounds as soon as convenient after my decease. <br />
<br />
As to all the neat [net?] Rents, Issues, and Profits of all the rest, residue and remainder of all my real and personal Estates, it is my Will and Mind that my said Trustees shall pay and apply the whole thereof unto my Daughter, Ann, the Wife of George Rogerson aforesaid during the Term of her natural Life. Her receipt alone whether sole or married and not withstanding her Coverture<sup>10</sup> to be from time to time a valid Discharge.<br />

NOTES<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>1</sup> This transcription is from a digitized copy of Joseph Blackoe’s will received from the Lancashire Archives (WRW-A-R121b-69) who also own the copyright. Additional punctuation and paragraph divisions have been added to aid the reader. Original spellings, capitalization, and other errors have been maintained. Editor’s notes are in brackets.<br />
<sup>2</sup> George Rogerson (1761-1846) was the husband of Joseph’s daughter, Ann Blackoe (b. 1772), by his second wife, Dorothy Robinson (c. 1745-1797).<br />
<sup>3</sup> At this time the relationship of Joseph Shepherd to Joseph Blackoe is unknown.<br />
<sup>4</sup> Henry Smith (b. 1798) was Joseph Blackoe’s natural son by Jane Smith and is mentioned later in the will. However, since he would have only been ten years old at the time this will was written, it seems unlikely he would be designated as an executor. Perhaps Henry Smith of Ellel is a different Henry Smith.<br />
<sup>5</sup> A <i>messuage</i> (pronounced MESS-widge) was “a dwelling house with outbuildings and land assigned to its use.”<br />
<sup>6</sup> A <i>hereditament</i> was “any item of property, either a corporeal hereditament (land or a building) or an incorporeal hereditament (such as a rent), that can be inherited.”<br />
<sup>7</sup> Joseph’s third wife was Betty Threlfall (1751-1816).<br /><sup>8 </sup>Joseph’s oldest son, Richard Blackoe (1767-1855), married Margaret “Peggy” Charnley.<br />
<sup>9</sup>It appears this section was added later.<br />
<sup>10</sup><i>Coverture</i> is “the legal status of a married woman, considered to be under her husband's protection and authority.”</span>Mark D.

Unfortunately we haven't discovered a baptismal record for Richard as of yet. His mother died either in childbirth or shortly thereafter.<br />
<br />
A year later we find him listed as 1 year old "Richd BLACOE" in the 1767 Returns of Papists (Worrall, 1980, V. 1, 107) living with his uncle and aunt, John and Mary (BLACKOW) Baines in Barnacre with Bonds, in Garstang parish, Lancashire.<br />
<br />
On 6 Jan 1790 he signed and sealed a bond indicating his intention to marry Margaret "Peggy" Charnley. Margaret was the daughter of John (1736-1814) and Ann (Pye) Charnley (1736-1812).<br />

<br />
Richard and "Peggy" had a large family of four boys and three girls: Joseph (1790- ); John (1792-1859); William (1797- ); Alice (1799-1803); Thomas (1801- ); Ann "Nancy" (1802-1837); our Edward (1804-1886/9); and Alice (1807- ). As mentioned <a href="https://blakeybook.blogspot.com/2019/12/naming-pattern-for-children-in-uk.html" target="_blank">above</a>, it was also customary that if a child died, the next child of that sex would be named after his or her deceased sibling. This is why we see two girls named Alice.<br />
<br />
In 1798 Mr. Rd. BLACOE appears as the Proprietor in a <a href="https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=2319&h=82635&ssrc=pt&tid=12945536&pid=122126332711&usePUB=true" target="_blank">record</a> <i>Ancestry.com</i> refers to as the <i>UK, Land Tax Redemption</i>. The residence is listed as Cleveley, Lancashire, which is near Garstang, and is also where his first daughter Alice's burial record indicates he lived in 1803.<br />
<br />
We don't have any additional records for several decades until 1841 when Margaret died. She was buried on 16 May at St. Helen's Church in Churchtown near Garstang.<br />

George, 20, was the son of William and Joseph's sister, Ann "Nancy," and her husband John Holden. <br />

It seems likely he had moved there with his grandson, George Holden, sometime shortly after the 1851 Census. In 1861, George is living in Bloxwich, a village a couple of miles north of Walsall, and in 1871, in Walsall on 40 Orlando Street.<br />
<br />
A certified copy of the death certificate indicates that Richard died on 3 Sep 1855 on Orlando St. The informant was Richard's daughter, Ann "Nancy" (BLACKOW) Holden who also lived on Orlando Street and was present at the death.<br />

<br />
How did we get from Bradford in Yorkshire county over to neighboring Lancashire county? For the answer to that we'll need to wait until we take a look at the 1841 and 1851 UK Censuses.<br />
<br />
First though, let's recognize that currently we don't have any additional intervening records until Edward gets married. We've known for some time from the US Censuses that he married a woman named Margaret who was born ca. 1800/1 and died in Feb 1870. A search on <i>Ancestry.com</i> provides only two probable candidates for Edward's wife: (1) Margaret Sutton, who married an <a href="https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=2576&h=44995213&ssrc=pt&tid=34867402&pid=29109520449&usePUB=true" target="_blank">Edward BLACKOW</a> on 26 Apr 1834 at St. Mary's, Lancaster, in Lancashire; and (2) Margaret Kellam, who married an <a href="https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=2576&h=45420467&ssrc=pt&tid=12945536&pid=-143946324&usePUB=true" target="_blank">Edward BLACOW</a> on 11 Jun 1829 at St. Mary, St. Denys and St. George, in Manchester, Lancashire. Their marriage records are provided below.<br />
<br />

<br />
It is interesting to note that on the BLACOW/Kellem documents, Edward's occupation is listed as a Wool Comber. Keep this in mind as it will come up again in future records. It is also worthy of note that one of the witnesses is Thomas BLACKOW/BLACOW and Edward had an older brother named Thomas.<br />
<br />
We will soon see in the 1841 and 1851 UK Censuses that Edward and Margaret had three children: Henry (b. 15 Apr 1829), Eliza (b. 18 Oct 1832), and James (b. 10 Nov 1834). It would have been more unusual for Edward to have married Margaret Sutton in 1834 about five years after Henry's birth and one and a half years after Eliza's birth, than to have married Margaret Kellam about two months after Henry's birth.<br />
<br />
Further evidence supporting Margaret Kellam as Edward's wife is found in Eliza's and James' baptismal records. Though unfortunately <a href="https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=2972&h=1459741&ssrc=pt&tid=12945536&pid=122065744051&usePUB=true" target="_blank">Eliza's</a> lists her mother as Margaret BLACKOW, it also lists a Martha Kellam as her godmother.<br />

Even though <i>Ancestry.com's</i> editor transcribed the mother of James BLAKER as Margaret Helleson, when I first examined the record her maiden name jumped out to me as Margaret Kellum. Every other capital "H" on the page has a strong horizontal cross stroke that extends beyond the vertical strokes. Hers does not.<br />

The map below shows the location of Gordon Street in Northowram. <br />

The "Do" is an abbreviation for "ditto." It is also interesting to note their ages. In 1841, Edward was 37 and Margaret was 39. The census lists them both as 35. But according to <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/uki1841/"><i>Ancestry.com</i></a>, the ages of "people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years."<br />
<br />
As mentioned in a previous post, Edward was a wool comber, which is corroborated here. Also notable is that both Edward and Margaret were not born in Yorkshire.<br />
<br />
Finally we see that their daughter, Eliza, is not with her family. However, we do find her a few pages later listed with the James and Sarrah Taylor family. Their connection to the BLACKOWs is not known at this time. According to <i><a href="https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/uki1841/">Ancestry.com</a></i>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: 85%;">The 1841 Census for England was taken on the night of 6 June 1841. All
responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 6 June 1841 for

traveling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they

This time Edward and Margaret's ages are what we would expect, and in addition to Edward working as a wool comber, so are sons Henry and James. Here we also see that both Edward and Margaret were born in Lancashire county.<br />

In the box under "Condition" he is listed as a widower, which would obviously mean he had previously been married.<br />
<br />
A search on <i>Ancestry.com</i> turned up a record listing the 4 Jun 1854 marriage of a Henry BLACKOW to a Mary Ann Wigney at the <a href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1184393" target="_blank">Church of St. Mary in Elland</a>, parish of Halifax, county of Yorkshire. Mary Ann, the daughter of William and Hannah (Hitchen) Wigney, was baptized 6 Jan 1833 in Halifax.<br />

<br />
If we compare the two documents there are several corroborating pieces of information. Henry is listed as a silk dresser and Edward a wool comber in both. In both the residence at the time of marriage is listed as Brighouse. Brighouse is about 3 miles northeast of Elland and about 9 miles southwest of Bradford.<br />
