Until I can easily surmount the enigma of my American ancestors I've decided to concentrate on some of my more recent ancestors: In particular I'm after detailed information on my Great Granddad 'George Henry Blacklee', he was chairman of a cigar company called Morris and Morris and reputedly suppli...

Thanks for that guys. I'm convinced George Philip is the one I'm after; I've found a John Goode Blacklee that seems to have married a Rebbecca Indiana THOMAS, so that ties that up. Although I have no idea where this American thing is coming from. There's a 'Daniel Blacklee' that marries a 'Jane Good...

I have it boiled down to a single family (that seems most likely): I think it's between a George Philip Blacklee and a Arthur Percival Blacklee, the later is on the 1911 census as married and at 37 years of age but with no listed children residing in the property, whilst George Philip Blacklee is on...

In regards to the search: I'm on the .co.uk version and searching the historical ...

Ideally to order. It seems a lot of the searches I make fail to pay dividends: even BC dating to the early 20th century have failed to turn up.

Hi, I've just started mapping my family history but I'm having problems finding some pretty basic information. I'm registered on 'ancestry.co.uk' but I can't find some records even though I have definitive information! For example, I can't even find my dads birth certificate: a Robert Blacklee born ...
