Comment . . . The story of Samuel's early life is told here. John and Annie's son Mark went to Grimsby and became a fisherman. He later worked as a merchant seaman on Atlantic liners and may have decided to leave his ship in New York and settle in America.

Comment . . . The Blakeborough childrens' ages in 1841 are quite inaccurate, and must be someone's guesses. Later, Jonathan became a watchmaker like his father, and married Sarah Smith in 1835. Mary Jane in 1832 married John Greenhow, a plumber and glazier, and had lots of children. Anne married John Atkinson in 1833. Richard became a jeweller and master silversmith. He married Jane Jefferson in 1847. Catharine in 1842 married James Hanby, an auctioneer. Maria in 1867 married William Fox, a commercial traveller.
