Henry Blake is the testator. There is a marriage between Henry Jupe and Jemima Blake which was celebrated at Mere, Wiltshire 1820. There were a number of children baptized to this couple at Mere (Family Search C39680-9):

Jemima Blake Jupe married 20 May 1850 at Mere Uriah Carter
Giles Jupe married 1858 at Mere Harriet Ann Moore and both of these marriages from Family Search. I did not find the Henry and Jemima Jupe family on the 1851 or 1861 census. I did not check all the individual children as I do not follow the daughters much past the marriage date and the children born to them. I could not find the mother Anne Blake on later census. There is a death for Ann Blake at Mere June quarter 1844. There is a death for a Jemima Jupp September quarter 1859 at Hartlepool, Durham. But I couldn't relate this to any census material.
