Philadelphia Blake married Edward Willet 21 Jul 1757 at St Mary Magdalene Woolwich, Kent, England.
There is a record on Find My past for an apprentice to Anthony Blake where he was a master Caulker at Woolwich Yard, Kent. Dated 1763. There is a baptism at Deptford Kent 29 Oct 1732 for an Anthony Blake son of Anthony Blake. There is also a baptism for a Thomas Blake 28 Nov 1731 son of Anthony Blake. There is a daughter Ann Blake baptized 9 Feb 1734 daughter of Anthony Blake. There is a second female (unnamed) baptism 8 Feb 1735 daughter of Anthony Blake.
There was a marriage at Deptford, Kent 14 Jan 1731 Anthony Blake married Ann Wallis. There was an apprenticeship for an Anthony Blake in 1723 in the City of London with the Master being a Barber surgeon. The father of this Anthony Blake was Thomas Blake.
Interesting records but I did not really find anything to draw this material together into a particular Blake family.
