June Buck, of 83 Easedale Drive, Ainsdale, Merseyside PR8 3TT, writes:

I am trying to find information about my great grandfather, Edward Honeybourne Blamey, who was baptized at St Saviours, Dartmouth on 11 June 1851, the illegitimate son of Ann Blamey.

Ann later married a Charles Dodd and Edward sometimes used the surname Dodd instead of Blamey. He was a mariner and married Alberta Fennell at the Weslyan Chapel, Kingswear on 13 April 1878, when his address was given as Higher Street, Dartmouth. Edward and Alberta had a son, my grandfather Edward Charles William Blamey, who was born in Higher Street in 1883. .
