Hi
I'm new to this forum.
I have been researching my family tree but have now now hit a brick wall!
I have traced a relative to the Philippine Islands called Emilio Blanco born around 1851. He was mentioned on the 1871 cencus at the earliest as a nephew
to Pedro Blanco living in Liverpool. The place of birth is Spaniard, but on a later census he is down as Philippine Islands. I am trying to find his birth certificate and
where his father came from Francisco (as named on his marraige certificate). I would also like to find out his mothers name.

Any information or help would be grateful.

I have visited The National Archives to find out how he got to the UK but have found no info.

Many thanks

Have you got this certificate? does it have any witnesses on it?

Thankyou so much Maths girl for all your replies.
I have most of the census information except for the 1911, many thanks for that!
I will look into the marraige certificate also!

Any ideas on where I could access info about their entry into this country? Other than go to the Philippines I'm not sure how to access birth records for Emilio.

Many thanks once again!

Is one of these a possibility for Francisco -- it says he is a merchant

Francisco Blanco
Port of Arrival: Southampton, England
Arrival Date: 23 Jan 1851
Port of Departure: West Indies
Ship: Trent
Country of Origin/Native of: Peru
Class: HO 3
Piece: 59
this one states he is a merchant on the original


Francisco Blanco
Port of Arrival: Dover, England
Arrival Date: 28 Jan 1852
Country of Origin/Native of: Spainsh American
Class: HO 2
Certificate Number: 49

Original has his signature but no other info

I don't know how you can find out any more info than this --maybe someone else can enlighten us.

Is this the uncle?

Pedro Blanco
Port of Arrival: Folkestone, England
Arrival Date: 2 Aug 1848
Country of Origin/Native of: Spain
Class: HO 2
Certificate Number: 1972

Wow thanks again Maths girl!

Which search engine did you find this info from?
The Uncle is a definate possibility, do any of them say they have Emilio Blanco travelling with them please?
All the info I have on them starts in Liverpool, but that's not to say that they travelled up there. I just presumed that they docked into Liverpool, but Emilio has travelled all over the UK. His kids have been born all over - Bristol, Bath, Leeds, London, Leicester.

You may be able to help me with this odd piece of info: On the 1891 census it states that Emilio and Emmeline (his wife) had two children in 1877. Francisco was born in London, but then I found Alberto born in the same year (in Leeds) residing at a naughty boys school in Halifax in 1891 census. How could they be born the same year? I cannot find any birth certificate for Francisco born in Dalston, London, but have Alberto's.

Many thanks again this has helped me a great deal.

I am not sure what you are asking here -- isn't this the 1891 census
1891 4, Northleigh Houses, Green Lane, Evington, Leicester
BLANCO, Emilio Head Married M 39 1852 Clicker Shoe Trade Philipine Islands
BLANCO, Emmeline Wife Married F 34 1857 Hackney London
BLANCO, Francisco Son Single M 14 1877 Clickers Apprentice Shoe Trade Dalston London
BLANCO, Emmeline Lizzie Daughter F 10 1881 Scholar Bristol
BLANCO, Edward Son M 8 1883 Leeds Yorkshire
BLANCO, Ada Daughter F 2 1889 Leicester

Do you mean the 1881 census that I haven't been able to track down yet?

As to two children in the same year -- remember the census only records ages and the year of birth is calculated from that -- and so can be out -- the two boys could in theory have been born 9 months apart in different places and still be recorded as the same age.

Is this the 1891 that you referred to : did he make good then see 1901/1911?

It might give more clues
