Thankyou Andy.

That was quick,lol and thanks for the further details.
I dont know if you have seen but their were so many Blanchards living on Portsea Island and it can get quite confuseing matching the correct families up. I will have a go later at looking for the next generation before William henry Coles.
Thanks again

The parents of John (Thomas) Coles Blanchard.
John was born in 1844 Portsea Island Portsmouth Hampshire.He married in 1868 to Sarah(dont know her sirname)born1841.They had six children.
As I said earlier I am trying to find Johns parents and have not had a lot of luck. I do know that the name Coles is passed down through the generations.I hope this helps and that you can help me.
Many thanks
Dionne
