This will for George Blake is the likely son of George Blake whose will was dated 1832. George was living at Duntisbourn Abbots at the time of his death. John Blake, his brother, and also mentioned in the will of George Blake was living at Bagendon. George was a bachelor.
George Blake is listed on the 1841 census at Duntisbourn Abbots living on his own and is a Farmer. On the schedule is one page away from William Blake and Elisa. John Blake is on the 1841 census at Badgington as an Inn Keeper, 50 years of age, with wife Sarah also 50 years of age, Elizabeth 15 years and Eleanor 10 years. He is on the 1851 census still at Bagendon (Badgington is an archaic name for Bagendon) at Parrots Brook Head Inn and he is an Inn Keeper and has 15 acres of land. He is 64 years of age and born at Shipton in Gloucestershire. His wife Sarah is 60 years of age and born at Duntisbourne Abbot. Their children Sarah Ann is 24 years and unmarried born at Horcott near Kempsford. Their daughter Eleanor is 22 years of age, unmarried and born at Horcott near Kempsford. John would have been born circa 1787.
The addition of the second page in this case does provide a rather interesting name in Francis Day. The name Howell does appear on the likely father George’s will.
