Proportional Representation and the Pipeline

Even though I am a Conservative voter normally, I again voted Liberal. I do not want the Carbon Tax eliminated. It is at least a good sized band-aid and starts us on that path to do our best for the environment for the future of our country.

I actually found it hard to believe that Alberta and Saskatchewan would come down so hard on the Trudeau government. After all they bought a pipeline (and I am glad that they did)! We have no idea what condition that pipeline would now be in if it had been left in the hands of the past owner. Would they have continued to just drain the money away and out of our country without putting good improvements into the existing pipeline? It is something to contemplate. Granted there hasn't been a movement towards building the twin to that pipeline but that isn't the fault of the Trudeau government; it is the courts that decide the fate of such things. I am still hoping that the Consortium of Aboriginal Peoples will buy that pipeline and built the twin and put the profits into renewable energy as they mentioned. They think in terms of 50 years not one government mandate and moving off of fossil fuels is definitely supported by the Aboriginal Peoples (and myself). They could do it seamlessly whereas a government mandate would likely complicate it given that they have at most a four year mandate.

Although the idea of Proportional Representation has been tossed about at various times in Canada, I think that the results of last night's vote must point to a real difficulty with that type of democratic process in a country such as ours which has large regional interests. To give one section of the country with very centralized ambitions more seats than they would qualify for in a first past the post election is not fair to the rest of the country. Where the vote does shift back and forth between political parties, like in most parts of the country, one can see that Proportional Representation would be an interesting way to form a government but would likely result in far more minority governments. Unless our parliament can learn to manage minority governments without squabbling constantly about trivial issues, our best bet continues to be First Past the Post.

Newsletters

Finally the Blake Newsletter Volume 8, Issue 4, 2019 is published. It is taking me several days now to pull these publications together but I find it to be my time well spent.

The good news is that I may have an article for the next Blake Newsletter that I have not written. I am always ready to include other's research in the newsletter. It will be under their name and with their email as the contact person for that portion. I do reserve the right to refuse an article but I can hardly imagine that that will happen!

I am thinking of having a Query page in the Newsletter if anyone is interested in submitting a query for the Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter, the Blake Newsletter or the H11 Newsletter. It should be lengthy enough to include sufficient information but not over one page. Again your name and your email will be on the query as I do not want to serve as a go-between for any of this type of research. I can publish the results of the Query if the submitter is willing to prepare that material.

I want to publish all of the transcriptions that I have done over the past sixteen years and these newsletters are giving me that opportunity. I have a lot more to transcribe and my desk is gradually becoming clearer so that I can do that. I am not closing my books on looking further back in time on my lines but that will become secondary as I gather up the loose ends and tie down what I have managed to glean from the records. I will be stricter now on what I find and try to have DNA results to back up these thoughts. I have a great deal of DNA information now on my family with my grandparent's phased.

I am in the process now of updating that phasing with all of the new results of the past six months. I also plan to go to the great grandparents and have eight colours instead of four on the charts. I want to move gradually back in time. As more and more people test particularly at My Heritage I am getting a lot more DNA information on my great grandparents and great great grandparents with relevant matches to them. I ignore anything smaller than 7 centimorgans which was again the recommendation of our last lecturer at the BIFHSGO Conference (Blaine Bettinger). For the X chromosome I pretty much ignore anything smaller than 15 centimorgans. I prefer a 20 centimorgan match or higher before I actually make a decision although the X chromosome is now pretty much set with a few good matches. I am starting to work on the Buller - Pincombe portion which is shared with my brothers as I can see that it will be possible to readily separate Welch-Cheatle-Taylor on the Buller side and Gray-Cobb-Routledge on the Pincombe side. The Rawlings that I inherited from my Father I am still sorting through (it will include the Rawlings-Lywood lines of my great grandmother but also the DNA inherited by her unknown father from his unknown mother). I do have a number of matches that are not Rawlings-Lywood but I haven't really done anything with them yet. I really would need the descendant of one of her half-siblings to do much with that. If the surname that she was given as her third forename is an indicator of paternity, then she possibly had seven paternal half-siblings (six half sisters and one half brother). Her natural mother (and the mother who raised her) had four other children (three who lived to adulthood and had children) and I do see some of those matches. I do have several interesting matches on My Heritage but they do not have the X chromosome displayed in the results. My grandmother had a very happy life and her step father was wonderful to all of his children from what I have heard. She worked as a cook at a manor house in Kimpton until she married when she was 27. But I should probably try to work this out when the information might still be available.

1.    Blake family queries and controversies
I quite regularly receive emails from descendants of Blake families proposing possible ancestries for their lines. I do try to answer these queries in a timely fashion but once again my mailbox has reached nearly 1400 emails. I could just file the emails away each day but I want to be able to read them over individually and respond and sometimes this can take quite a bit of time (I do answer my Guild enquiries as received but the answer can be quite brief with more to follow as I work my way through the query). At this time my Inbox is dating back to the latter part of 2018 so nearly a year’s worth of emails to respond to and file. My actual aims with regard to the one-name study are pretty solid now. I intend to complete the transcription of all the wills in my possession and these still number well over 1000. I want to assemble all of the marriages that I have collected as a result of the Marriage Challenges conducted by the Guild of One-name Studies researchers on location in the United Kingdom. I plan to blog these marriages and likely put them in this Newsletter as well. That is all that I plan to do with regard to the Blake one-name Study. I will leave it to others to examine the records and attempt to put together lineages for all of these Blake lines that have been uncovered by yDNA testing. For my line, tested by my brothers with a Y-500 completed at FT DNA, I-PH3480 which is a yDNA group said to be ancient to the British Isles and one of the first yDNA haplogroups to have entered Europe. This particular haplogroup is found in southern England and western Ireland looking at results acquired thus far in the yDNA study. Eventually I plan to transcribe the Andover Manor Books (Latin) to learn more about the John Blake who lived in the area and could be the ancestor of my supposed furtherest back ancestor Robert Blake who left his will in 1521 (he was quite elderly likely born between 1425 and 1450) and was living in the Andover area. My grandfather (Samuel George Blake) was born in the Andover, Hampshire area (1875) as was his family tracing back within 2 kilometres of Andover into the 1400s. My father (Ernest Edward George Blake) was born in Eastleigh, Hampshire (1904) where his father worked for the Railway as a Blacksmith.

I became interested in Blake and doing the one-name Study to help correct mistakes in the historical writings for the Blake family of Andover. Horatio Gates Somerby (1805 – 1872) fraudulently took Nicholas Blake (my likely 12x great grandfather) and claimed that he had had a brother Humphrey who moved to Somerset and was the founder of the Somerset Blake line at Overstowey and Plainsfield. A number of noted genealogists have corrected this error and for the most part writings on line have declared this linking of the Andover Blake family and the Overstowey/Plainsfield Blake family to be incorrect. Yet, I still do receive from individuals trees that take their line back to Nicholas Blake of Andover named incorrectly as the brother of this Humphrey Blake. I mention once again in this Newsletter that this information is incorrect and one should not use the works of Horatio Gates Somerby to trace back a Blake family line prior to emigration to the American Colonies. I do occasionally have an email from Blake members in England that have come across his study but that is quite rare.

2.    Blake Pedigree Chart – Blake Museum at Bridgwater, Somerset. This is a recent addition to their website: http://www.bridgwatermuseum.org.uk/

The Blake Museum has given me permission to put these charts in the newsletter and will look at Blake Pedigree Chart 7 in this Newsletter. The chart is referring to the Blake family found in Somerset. This Blake family is well documented with a number of wills that I have already transcribed and can be found on my blog (http://kippeeb.blogspot.com) .

I intend to look at the family of the green circled member of this particular section of the Blake tree at the Bridgwater Museum. Richard Blake owned property at Charlinch which he mentions in his will. His Nuncupative Will was written at Enmore 1 Sep 1657 (Enmore is five miles from Over Stowey).

According to Chart 7 Richard Blake (testator) was baptized 6 Dec 1629 thus making him 28 years of age when his will was written. His will dated 1 September 1657 was not probated until 21 December 1659.

 

The above image is from the Over Stowey Parish Registers and one can see by the date Anno Domini 1630 that the items preceding that date are from 1629. At the top of the image (cropped) one finds “Richard son of Humphry Blake was Baptized ye 6 day of December.”

According to Chart 7 for the Blake family, Richard Blake (baptized 6 Dec 1629 (Old Style)) was the son of Humphrey Blake and Elizabeth Giles. In the cropped image below (green circle), Humphrey Blake of Plainsfield, Overstowey is said to be baptized 13 Nov 1580 (with a short arrow above the line coming down from Nicholas Blake of London and Anne Meadows of Sussex). I could not find that baptism in the online databases or at Family Search online. I will go to the Family Search Library one of these days as they do have access to the Over Stowey Registers on their site computers.

It is generally said that the parents of this Humphrey Blake were Humphrey Blake and Agnus/Ann James who married 23 Oct 1578 at Over Stowey. If we follow the line across into the next image, namely Image 10, then one can see that there are a number of children beneath this line all attributed to Humphrey Blake and Agnus/Ann James.
 

Using the chart (cropped from Blake_8.pdf) and the chart above (cropped from Blake _9.pdf) you can see that they come together with Richard Blake (baptized 7 Sep 1585) repeated on both charts (red outline). Following the green line towards the right does attribute these children to Humphrey Blake and Agnus, d of ___ James. This particular Humphrey Blake did leave a will dated 21 Sep 1618 (he was buried 20 Mar 1619 (Old Style)) and probated 27 Jun 1620. Unfortunately the original will was lost in the bombing of the Exeter Record Office during World War II. Luckily an abstract can be found in the Second Series of Abstracts of Somersetshire Wills, F. Brown (a copy is on Internet Archive): https://archive.org/details/abstractssomers00browgoog/page/n26 .

B.121 Humphry Blake the Elder. Will dated September 21, 1618 and proved June 27, 1620 by his son Humphry Blake [71 Soame]. To be buried at Over Stowey. Advowson of Aisholt to my son Edmund, in default to Mary my daughter, then to my son Robert. Elizabeth wife of Humphry my son. To Ann Blake, my wife 100 marks. My son Richard. My son John. Robert Perry, gent. Humphry Blake of Bridgewater, gent. William Blake. Richard Blake, of Stogumber, gent.  Robert Blake.

Although it would be so much better to see the entire will, Humphry has mentioned in the will his daughter Mary, his sons Edmund, Robert, Humphry, Richard, and John. Looking at the two images above and remembering that Humphry has married twice, Humphry and his first wife Agnus James had the following children: Humphry (married to Elizabeth Giles), John, Richard, Jane, Robert, and Arthur. By his second wife Ann: Edmund and Mary (plus an infant Edmund who died young). Not mentioned in the will his daughter Jane (likely also died young but burial date not given) and his son Arthur (died as an infant).

The parents of this Humphry Blake can not be seen on this chart but can be seen on the one below:

This particular cropping of Image 1 is also very interesting. There is another chart which does predate this one likely as it was originally produced in 1690 with additions (in the 1700s) (chart below). The green circles point out the exact sample couple.

This colourful Chart was produced by the College of Arms for the Daniel Blake family of London, UK in 1690 originally. The chart itself is 12 feet by four feet and can be purchased as eight images from the Wiltshire Record Office. The top of the College of Arms’ chart begins with a Richard Blake and the addition of Robert E Blake as his father is somewhat interesting in the Chart held by the Bridgwater Museum. I have discussed before that Richard is likely the Richard le Blak who came from Rouen, France in 1274 to set up a market in England. This document following gave him the right to do so.

"Licence, until Michaelmas, for Walter le Aketon, merchant of Rouen, to
come to England to trade and to carry his wools and merchandise to the
usual fairs and markets by the public streets and common ways, provided
he do not carry or cause to be carried his wools or merchandise out of the
kingdom, nor deal with the Flemings or others of the power of the countess
of Flanders in the kingdom, or in any way communicate with them, during
the contention between the king and the said countess.
[30 May 1274 Westminster, 2 Edward I, volume 1, pages 51 - 52, Calendar of Patent Rolls]

The like for the following :—
Peter de Bules, merchant of Rouen
……….
Richard le Blak, merchant of Rouen.
………
Gilbert Bonnavel, merchant of Amiens"

My reason for believing that is because of an entry at the top of the Chart held by the Wiltshire Record Office which reads:

“R Blake gave certain Lands in Essex to the Knights Templars in the Regis of King Edw I which may be seen by the Records in the Tower of London _ilt Esc[h]aetr 31 Ed I no 77” This caption is beside Richard Blake on the first image of the Blake Pedigree prepared by the College of Arms.

Interestingly I do find a grant of Land in Eastwood (Essex) by Roger le Blake of Madebrook to the Knights Templars 20 Nov 1302 listed in the holdings of The National Archives (UK). The summary "Roger le Blake of Madebrook to grant land in Eastwood to the master and brethren of the Knights Templars in England, retaining a cottage and land in Thundersley and Eastwood. Essex" C 143/41/23 with date 31 Edward I. I do have a photograph of this particular document. It is possible to find Eastwood and Thundersley on Google maps in Essex and Madebrook is now the name of a pub located in Madeley which is near Telford in Shropshire.

Interesting but will leave any discussion on the first few generations noted on the Chart to another time as I do have documents that can assist with looking at that history.

Looking at the red circled part of the tree, Humphrey Blake was named as the son of John Blake the elder and his wife Johan. John was buried 10 Dec 1576 at Over Stowey, his wife Johan was buried 27 Jun 1595 at Over Stowey.

John Blake’s will was dated 25 November 1576 according to the Bridgewater Museum chart. Clifford L. Stott did obtain a copy of this will and cited it in its entirety in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register of 2009, Volume 163, Issue 1, 85-97 (“Humphrey Blake and his Descendants in New England and South Carolina”). I have included the will as transcribed in this blog:

The will was probated, according to the author Clifford L. Stott, 25 January 1577. John, in his will, mentions his wife Johan and children: Humphrey Blake, Alice Richards, Anne Saunders, Isabel [Elizabeth] Zellick, William Blake, Richard Blake and Robert Blake.  The College of Arms’ Chart shows the children of John and Anne Blake as: Humphrey Blake, William Blake, Richard Blake, Robert Blake, Alice Blake, Anne Blake, Isobel Blake, and Mary Blake. Mary is not mentioned in the will (baptized 1558 and buried 6 Sep 1660 (perhaps this date should be 1560). The parish records are not online but are available at Family Search Record Offices so will check that one of these days.

Moving back to the parents of John the Bridgewater Museum chart lists Humphrey Blake (of Overstowey) and his wife Anne. Humphrey also left his will dated 19 Nov 1558 and probated 11 May 1559. The original of this will was lost in the bombing of the Exeter Record Office during World War II. However an abstract was produced in Series 1 of the Abstracts of Somersetshire Wills, F. Brown:

Humfrey Blake, of Overstowey, Somerset, Gent. Will dated 19 Nov 1 Eliz: proved 11 May 1559. To be buried in the parish church of Overstowey, with such orisons [and etc] prayers to be said [and etc] done for me at my Buriall, months mind [and etc] in the daye of my annyversarie as shall be thought most mete by my Executors, [and etc]. To the Parson of Aissheholt to pray for me, 10 s. To Anstice Blake, one of the daughters of Robert Blake, for her advancement in marriage, £6. 6. 8. To Jone Slocombe, daughter of George Slocumbe, 20 s. To Agnes Mannynge, my daughter, £4. To Catherine Cabull, 6 s 8 d. To Alice Cabull, my sister, 6 s 8 d. To John Blake the elder, my son, £100. To Robert Blake my son, £100. To Thomas Blake, my son, £20. To Eleanor Langham, my daughter, 10 s. To Alice Slocombe, my daughter, 6 s 8 d. Manor of Tuxwell, Somerset, to my son Robert Blake [and etc], his heirs, [and etc], then to Thomas, my son, then to John Blake the younger, my son. To John Blake the elder, my son, [and etc] his heirs, lands, [and etc], in Bishops Lydiard. My friend, Humphrey Coles, esq., £5, to see my will performed, [and etc]. Residue to Anne my wife, [and etc] my son John Blake the younger, Executors. Overseers, John Blake the elder, Robert Blake, William Luker.

Humfrey (Humphrey) mentions in his will his wife Anne, his daughters Agnes, Eleanor, Alice and his sons Robert (grandfather of Robert Blake, Admiral and General at Sea during the Commonwealth), Thomas, Robert, John the elder and John the younger. The Chart held by the Bridgwater Museum lists John Blake the younger, Agnis Blake, Eleanor Blake, Alice Blake, John Blake the elder, Thomas Blake and Robert Blake. The marriage names for the daughters and the lands granted appear with the relevant son on the Bridgwater Museum Pedigree Chart.

At this point in the trace-back Horatio Gates Somerby decided to make this Humphrey a brother of Nicholas Blake of Andover, Hampshire. Fortunately Nicholas left his will probated 20 Jun 1547.

Although it is always possible that Nicholas might not mention his brother in his will since he does not mention his brother Robert, I will also place his mother’s will in this account (this transcription was completed by Charlou Dolan:

I now have a copy of this will but have not yet transcribed it. Jone Blake mentions her children: Nycholas Blake, Robert Blake, and Elsabeth Mylne. If she had a son Humphrey I rather think she would have mentioned that she did.

There is another will of the likely husband of Jone but I will not insert it here. He mentions his sons Robert Blake, Nicholas Blake and his daughter Elizabeth Blake.

This is the most interesting part of this walk back in time looking at each ancestral line. This chart at the Bridgwater Museum agrees with the chart produced by the College of Arms in that the father of Humphrey is said to be John Blake. Obviously this chart held by the Bridgwater Museum was not prepared from any of Horatio Gates Somerby’s notes. The author of this chart is not known to me.

The chart prepared by the College of Arms has this caption in the circle for John Blake:

John Blague 2nd son from whom the Blakes of Somersetshire are descended of which Family was General Robert Blake famous Soldier and Sea Commander.

He is listed as the son of William Blague of Lacock in County Wiltshire and his wife Margaret daughter of William Browne of Wablyn. I will do more on this particular line at a later date.




3.    Blake Surname Study – Progress: One Name Blake Study at the Guild of One-name Studies was originally undertaken by another researcher. In 2011, I became the researcher for the Blake-one-name Study at the Guild. There was already a pre-existing yDNA project run by Bill Bleak and he continues as the main administrator of the project. As can be seen below 23 members of the study have completed a Big Y (SNPs testing for deep clade determination) making it virtually impossible to do more than has been done with some of the groups.

Project Statistics
Total Members                               193
Big Y                                                   23
Combined GEDCOMs Uploaded      12
Paternal Ancestor Information     129
Predicted Y-DNA Haplogroups       25
Y-DNA12                                         111
Y-DNA25                                           94
Y-DNA37                                           91
Y-DNA67                                           66
Y-DNA111                                           38
The task of managing these groups is large and I will gradually work away at converting them to the new standard of placing individuals by their deep haplogroup testing. I have not made any progress since the last report. If anyone is willing to look at the R1b groups and come up with a better display I would greatly appreciate it. I would recommend that all members join the relevant haplogroup project to learn more about your haplogroup.

4.    Blake autosomal DNA Study at FT DNA (Family Finder)
In some cases these are large matches and in other cases relatively small but that is the way with the inheritance of autosomal DNA. With each generation chunks of autosomal DNA can either be broken into smaller units or passed as a large chunk relatively intact. It is a purely random event. Due to privacy concerns it is not possible to produce a chart of the members who do have matches with other members of the group but each member is able to check that for themselves in their account. What would be helpful is adding a family tree to your account thus making it much more possible to find matching autosomal DNA cousins in your research.

5.    Andover, Hampshire, England Parish Registers (Baptisms – set 6)
Andover, Hampshire, England has often been said to be the “home of the Blakes” when I have been writing to people in Hampshire through the years. I would say that Calne, Wiltshire perhaps has a stronger hold on that particular title although there are a number of other areas in England where the Blake family has been for centuries. When I decided to transcribe the Parish Registers of Andover I was surprised to find that yes there are a number of Blake entries but there are far more Blake entries in Parish Registers in other parts of England as mentioned. In this issue, I will publish the baptisms for Blake in the Parish Registers. These records are taken from fiche which have scans of the original parish registers. The registers for baptisms begin in 1588 and have provided me with a lot of details on the Blake family in Andover in the late 1500s and into the 1600s/1700s. Eventually I hope to complete my project of transcribing these Parish Registers for St Marys Andover beyond the early to mid 1700s.

Baptismal Registers commenced in 1588 and I will start publishing these transcriptions for Andover.
