Bladon Family History

Another update

2007-02-04T11:30:00.000Z

I have visited Matlock over Christams and searched the Marston on Dove and Church Broughton registers - a few discoveries there. I have copies of 3 marriage licences, 3 wills of Bladon husbands which have helped.

Yesterday I went to Staffrod and looked a the trial records of John Bladon. This was a settlement dispue between Sudbury and Uttoxeter. I searched the early Uttoxeter registers as well. Things are progressing slowly, but it does when you are back this far!

Update

2006-11-21T19:09:00.000Z

I have had 2 visits to Matlock looking at Parish chest records for Sudbury and Doveridge. Found some useful entries that put 'flesh on the bones'. i also double checked the parish registers for Sudbury and Doveridge.

I also received the will that the Chancery Dispute is all about and this is most helpful as it mentioned married female Bladon's and relationships so I now have proof that the Bladon's who became Vicars of Hanbury and Carsington are on my tree.

Matlock Visit

2006-10-11T09:30:00.000+01:00

I visited Matlock again last Saturday, hoping it would be the last time before Christmas, however I don't think it will be!
I ordered the Glebe Terriers for Somersal Herbert but there were noBladon's mentioned so I decided to look again at the vernon family Papers index in case I missed anything. I found the Sudbury Manor Court Rolls up to the 1640's and decided to look at those. They were full of Bladon's and this bundle only started in 1600, there are earlier ones! Typically I ran out of time so another visit before Christmas!

Chancery Dispute

2006-10-06T09:53:00.000+01:00

It arrived a week after I had been to Kew and takes a lot of reading but is very interesting. From what I can make out, Elizabeth Bladon married John Platts and the dispute is over her uncles land - Thomas Barnes. It staes Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry Bladon and he was the eldestson of Thomas Bladon and Elizabeth Barnes, sister of Thomas. A William Bladon brought the case to dispute and it is him I am interested in.

I have since found out there is the next stage of the case at the National Archives involving interviews with family so I have this on order. There is also another part of the case from 1703 which Ialso have on order. I am hoping somewhere it will say the relationship between the Paltts and William Bladon as I am back to a William who is possibly an Uncle to Elizabeth and William also had a son William.

Kew

2006-09-06T18:43:00.000+01:00

Been a quiet summer research wise - more internet searches on modern day records. Last Saturday I went down to Kew on the Derbyshire Family history society coach trip- which I organsied!

I had a good day. There is one exemption certificate surviving for the Heath tax for Somersal Herbert and it is for ThomasBLADON my great x 8 grandfather! Took a copy of that. Why he didn't have to pay itI don't know. HE left £30 in his will dated 1698 - over £2k in todays money.

The other piece of information was a chancery dispute between the Platts and Bladon's. Elizabeth Bladon married a John Platt and this document relates t a will of Wiliam Bladon. Elizabeths dad was Henry Bladon of Potter Somersal, possibly a brother of William my 9xgrandfather and father of Thomas mentioned above. I didn't get chance to study the document there but am waiting for a copy of it.

Vernon rental books

2006-07-04T12:16:00.000+01:00

I hve now searched all the rental books from 1735-1810 (some earlier ones) so now I have the big task of sorting them all out and then planning my next move. There are no archives for the Fitzherberts of Somersall Herbert so it may be the Quarter Session records next - after the summer!

Archive visit

2006-06-18T10:19:00.000+01:00

Yesterday I visited a local archive. They hold some of the early rental books relating to the Vernon family. The earliest book was from 1597 and the first Bladon was in 1620! Two other books were from the 1660's which is at the same period as the Hearth Tax so I knew there would be some them. The other books I looked at were the day book from Lord Vernons agent - some Bladon entries popped up there and a receipt book again a few entries. When I arrived back home and everything, I realised I had made an error and Bladon Crofts was oposite Somersal Hall NOT at Hill Somersall where they lived at times. I now have to put it all together.

The previous Saturday I had gone to Matlock and looked at the Easter Book for Doveridge. The Bladons of West Broughton were mentioned in that. I hope to go back to Matlock before the summer holidays.

Discovery at Sudbury Hall Derbyshire

2006-06-04T11:04:00.000+01:00

I visited Sudbury hall yesterday and upon entering Lord Vernon's study, I noticed that they had some old estate maps on the wall. Looking at the one for Somershall Herbert 1725, I could just make out what looked like BLADON CROFT. I asked a guide and she confirmed it. I hope to go back to Matlock on Saturday, and a map there may hold more clues.

New relatives

2006-05-29T16:37:00.000+01:00

I have been tring to find to find the decendents of William and Sarah my great great great grandparents and have had a lot of luck with the various branches. Two grandaughters of Emily Aston nee Bladon are still alive in their 90's! their father was cousin to my great grandfather! Other lines are coming along. The Onley's have about one branch still around and the Hallams despite being a large family have all died out.

Book by Philip Bladon

2006-05-21T13:40:00.000+01:00

A distant cousin of mine, Philip Bladon has produced a book explaining metric units very handy for everyone!

"A delight for trivia buffs and Scrabble® enthusiasts"

"Symbologists & symbolists can ponder over the character sizes"

"International Units and their symbols - an international language"
"Educational - and not just needed in the USA"
"A new handy book that's becoming a standard reference work on SI (metric) units, it explains things clearly in an interesting and non-technical way"

"It's not just a reference book for High School science students; Primary, and Junior School teachers around the world are also are using it. A section of this small handy book provides a simple guide to writing metric names and symbols correctly."
"It's a fascinating and unusual book" PLUS 'A delight for trivia and Scrabble buffs'.

SI
SI Metric-Matters

Around the world you have probably seen road signs with the symbol ‘Km’. Perhaps you’ve also seen packets of rice or sacks of potatoes or a market stall with a metric weight label ‘Kg’. Both of these symbols are inkorrect because the capital letter k is used. In Britain you might see ‘Kgs’ on the side of vehicles belonging to a national security company; ‘Kgs’ is also an inkorrect symbol. The symbol ’kg’ does not have a plural form. In fact a leading American Dictionary (Merriam-Webster) accepts the word ‘inkorrect’ exists!

One person who likes to promote correct metric symbols is Philip Bladon. He has worked overseas as a science teacher and school administrator for many years. Philip is keen to ensure that students and colleagues write ’km’ and ‘kg’ (not ‘Km’ and ‘Kg’). He also points out that the correct symbol for ‘kelvin’ (the unit for thermodynamic temperature) is ‘K’ (not °K), the wrong symbol appears in some science textbooks.

SI Metric-Matters is promoting the use of International units with the correct names and symbols. Philip Bladon, from Worcestershire, in the United Kingdom, has compiled A Dictionary Of International Units. His book is filled with official SI units, ‘Le Système International d’ Unités’, designated SI in all languages.

This book not only provides an excellent reference source for science students throughout their careers; it’s also a fascinating book for trivia buffs and a delight for enthusiasts of the board game Scrabble®. When you buy a copy you will soon enrich your vocabulary and discover unusual prefixes. In addition to familiar prefixes like ‘kilo’ and ‘milli’ there are eighteen more that can be used for multiples and submultiples of SI units.

With this dictionary, teachers can help promote the correct metric names and symbols and give guidance on how to write numerical values correctly. And it’s not just in High schools and Secondary schools where this book is being used; Primary, and Junior school teachers around the world are finding it useful.

For non-scientists it is full of interesting information, introducing them to a broader spectrum of words and concepts. Words like yoctobecquerel or zettasteradian provide a key into a new world of probing and discovery. A browse through this paperback or the ebook version can be extremely illuminating (unit: yottalux).

Symbologists and symbolists can ponder over character sizes, for example: ‘Zs’, ‘zs’, ‘ZS’, ’zS’, and hundreds more!

Historians will discover the six nationalities of the 19 scientists whose surnames have been used for SI (metric) units. The first letter of these unit names is not capitalized. In schools these scientists can be presented on a timeline; this might be done as part of a student exercise during a country’s national science week; an ideal way to help promote cross-curricular activities linking History, Mathematics, Languages, and Presentation skills.

Compared to the large, technical and expensive ISO, (International Standards Organisation), documents on SI units available from Geneva, Philip Bladon’s Dictionary Of International Units is excellent value and it’s fun.

Missing relatives

2006-04-23T09:36:00.000+01:00

As there is such a lot of information on the internet now, I have decided to try and find Bladon descendant's of 'females' on my line. I am going back from myself and as my grandfather was the only child, the next generation is great grandfather. He had a brother and sister. I know the where abouts of Horace (brother) family and the son of the sister Doris, so the next generation is the family of William and Sarah the dairyman from Kings Heath. Mary Ann the school mistress was one (see previous entry) ,George and James had no family. The 3 daughters that did marry were Emily to John Geroge ASTON, Ellen to Frederick Elias HALLAM and Elizabeth to James ONLEY. This is where I am concentrating on at the moment

Visit to the Graves at Birmingham

2006-04-15T18:02:00.000+01:00

Went over to Moseley, Kings Heath, Kings Norton and Brandwood end Cemetery today to view the Bladon graves and take digital photos of them. As it was Easter the churches were open so took advantage of that as well. Couldn't find 2 family graves at Moseley - HALLAM and ONLEY as it looks like the church yard has been cleared. Kings Heath was fine only 2 there. Brandwood End Cemetery was easy to find the graves as I had a plot plan sent some years ago. Alot of thhe graves there are broken and in poor state of repair. I can see why there is a Friends of Brandwood End cemetery ow. Last stop was Kings Norton where ther are a numberof graves. In the past I have only found 1. However I was out of luck as the church yard had been cleared and most of the graves were less than 10 years old. At least I have the monumental inscriptions.

Visit to Derbyshire Record Office

2006-03-25T10:34:00.000Z

Yesterday I visited the Record Office at Matlock Derbyshire and looked through more rental books for the Sudbury estate - some from the 1600's! There were alot of references to the Bladon's and in the accounts which I also viewed.

There was another Edward who was a tailor to the Vernons, another Edward who was an under groom and a William who was a sadler to the family as well.

I also looked at an estate map from 1794 so i now know the extent of the estate. Somersall Herbert does not come under the estate so that clears a few things up for me.

Bladon News

2006-03-19T15:20:00.000Z

I am going to Derbyshire Record Office on Friday to look at more rental books forthe Sudbury esate and maps of the estate to pin point where the Bladons actually lived! On Saturday Alice Blount nee Roberts, grandaughter of Sarah Alice Roberts nee Bladon (daughter of TE Bladon of blow lamps fame) are visiting us so I can at last show her our collection of lamps her family made!

Bladon's of note - Mary Ann Bladon - school mistress

2006-03-19T14:42:00.000Z

Mary Ann Bladon was the daughter of William and Sarah my great great great grandparents so her brother also William was my great great grandfather! She was born 29th August 1838 at Moseley Worcestershire, the second child and eldest daughter. Along with her siblings she attended Moseley National School.

On 24th January 1860 she enrolled at the Dioceasen training Institution at Bristol to undertake the Queens Scholar examination, with her referee being the Rev J Davison, vicar of St Mary's church Moseley who ran the school.

She trained for either 2 or 3 years and returned to Moseley national school. On 3rd December 1864 she was appointed head mistress of the girls (and later infants) National school on a salary of £30 per year with house, garden and coals. 3 months notice was to be given and it was also her duty to represent the Sunday school.

I have read the school log books 1862-1889 which Mary Ann wrote and it is very interesting. The hours changed during the summer and winter. It started at 09.00 during the summer and 09.30 during the winter. Some of the inspecters reports are included along with averages relating to attendnece. Other items include illnesses (measles, colds) national events and weather. Leasons studied were scripture, needlework, dictation, arithamic, reading, singing, drawing, geography and church!

Mary Ann stayed at the school until her retirement nearly 40 years later! This was on 3rd March 1904 when a collection amounted to £64 7s 6d. A cheque of £61 4s 6d was presented to her with the cost of the illiuminated address being £3 3s! 150 applied for her post.

An obituary in the Birmingham news states she served as a pupil, pupil teacher, schoolmsitress and headmistress and was associated for over 42 years with the school.

She died 11th April 1916 at Waterloo road Moseley age 77 and was buried at St Marys church in the family grave which included her parents, and 2 brothers.

The school built in 1828 was replaced by a new one in the 1960's, but the building still stood until December 2005 when it was demolished despite calls for it to be saved.

I am desperate to find a photograph of her, but so far nothing.

Bladon's of note - Thomas Edward Bladon - Lamp Manufacturer

2006-03-14T12:40:00.000Z

THOMAS EDWARD BLADON 1849-1928

When I first started to research my maiden name of Bladon, no one knew anything about the family apart from the family having the marriage certificate of my great grandparents. It didn’t take long to research back to my greatx5 grandparents Edward Bladon and Elizabeth Bushell who married in 1790 at Solihull Warwickshire. They spent their married years at nearby Tanworth in Arden Warwickshire.

Thomas, my greatx4 grandfather was their second child and son and he stayed in the area until 1832 when he moved with 9 children to Court 1, Bath Row Birmingham. Four more children followed. Despite living in cramped conditions, all their children prospered.

William their second child was my greatx3 grandfather and he was a successful dairyman/milkman in nearby Kings Heath and Moseley Worcestershire (a prosperous suburb then).

Edward born in 1821 was their fourth child and whilst young he went to work for Jones and Rooke Ltd rollers and wire drawers of Northwood Street, eventually becoming their managing director. He married Maria Amelia Adams in 1848. Thomas Edward was their first child born in 1849 possibly at 23 Albion Street where the family was on the 1851 census. In 1855 Oliver arrived, Theodore in 1862 and Julia in 1864. The family moved to 61 Northwood Street prior to 1861.

Upon leaving school, Thomas Edward became an apprentice at Mr CT Shaw diamond manufacturer (the family lived in the jewellery quarter of Birmingham), however, this didn’t last long as he formed a partnership with a Mr Stokes ‘Stokes and Bladon’ of 46/61 Northwood street by 1876 but this didn’t last long as he then formed another partnership with a Mark Harry Tongue originally from Wolverhampton, a lamp manufacturer who had a business at 4 James Street employing 4 men and 2 boys. By now Thomas Edward had married Sarah Alice Matthews in 1878 and like his father lived in Kings Heath on Alcester road (was this because my ‘branch’ were there?) The partnership with Tongue was dissolved in 1881 when the business is listed as Ship and railway lamp manufacturers. During 1887 two patents for bicycle lamps and ventilating equipment lapsed through non-payment of fees.

Around this time I feel something must have happened since on the 1891 census the family were living at Balsall Heath - a come down from Kings Heath. However Thomas Edward decided to ‘go alone’ and went back to his roots of Northwood Street, this time number 99/101 and moved his family of four children back to Kings Heath. His siblings were also living in the area, as was his father by now a widower. In 1898 Thomas Edward was elected councillor for Kings Heath and shortly after that his wife died. She was buried at Brandwood End cemetery in Kings Heath after a Baptist ceremony. Two years later Edward died age 82 and like his wife was buried at St Nicolas Kings Norton. Early in 1917 Thomas Edward decided to spend his last days at Stratford Upon Avon (back to his roots!) Why is not clear . It was here that he died 11 years later and was buried next to his wife at Brandwood End, 27 years after her death. The business was carried on by his son William Edward with his son Thomas John then being 18 years old so I would like to think he was involved until his tragic death 2 years after his marriage. Sadly William Edward’s other son by his second marriage died aged 11.

TE BLADON & SON Ltd

I don’t know too much about the business but it was trading under the name of TE Bladon at 99 Northwood Street from around 1888. On 20th January 1916 it became Thomas Edward Bladon and son Ltd and the description reads ‘Trade or business to be brass founders, stampers, piercers, tinsmiths, lamp makers, oil can manufacturers, motor accessory makers, casters, spinners electrical engineers and munition workers’. In 1921 a mortgage was taken out on 99-105 Northwood Street Birmingham for the business and was paid off in 1966. When Thomas retired, George Raymond Neale came on board, but Thomas was still a director, on the death of Thomas Edward, William Edward became the director. After Williams’s death, the husbands of his daughters were involved, as his son Thomas John had died but by 1974 the business was being run by the Homers and had moved to Lichfield Road Industrial Estate, Tamworth Staffordshire and was still trading under the name of TE Bladon and son Ltd. In October 1990 the company ceased to exist.

A Birmingham Directory of about 1888 lists Thomas.

‘Thomas E. Bladon, Patentee and Manufacturer of all kinds of Lamps, Lanterns, Reflectors, etc., 4, James Street, St. Paul's.
An important and exceedingly flourishing branch of industrial activity in Birmingham, is the manufacture of lamps, lanterns, etc. and in this connection the very old-established house of Mr. Thomas E. Bladon is one of the leading and largest in the town. The premises occupied in James Street, are very extensive front and rear, the front possessing a very business-like, attractive appearance, the rear consisting of the different workshops. The latter are excellently equipped with all the newest and most improved machinery and appliances known to the trade the arrangements throughout affording the greatest facilities for executing orders at the shortest notice and in the best possible manner. Mr. Bladon employs an efficient staff of skilled workmen, to whom he gives constant employment, as his connection is now very widespread and valuable, including a large shipping trade, Mr. Bladon is a patentee and manufacturer of all kinds of lamps, lanterns, reflectors, oil cans, ventilators, etc. He manufactures all kinds of outside lamps for hotels, restaurants, shop windows, etc., and makes special designs to suit any style of architecture. He is also the patentee of the new Patent Save-all Spring Feeder, which has a very large sale. He also paints, glazes, and repairs old lamps on the shortest notice.
Mr. Bladon for all his work and manufactures has received the highest commendation. He is a conscientious manufacturer, and a scrupulous businessman. The increased trade which he has grown around him during the last few years bears testimony to the high repute in which he is held. Mr. Bladon has designed and patented some of the prettiest and most graceful designs in lamps that have been seen. His manufactures have found their way to every part of the country, and the patronage now enjoyed is of that superior order which is fully in consonance with the long and honourable record of this distinguished house.’

Bladon family gathering

2006-03-13T18:58:00.000Z

In May 2005 a Bladon gathering (decendents of Edward Bladon and Elizabeth Bushell who married in 1790 at Solihull Warwickshire) was held in Derby Derbyshire. Themain reason for this being that one of our 'clan' was over from Canada. The Bristish weather was kind to us and the sun graced us with its presence all day. There were displays of the tree, Bladon lamps and blow lamps, photos of Bladons, graves and houses, and any other heirlooms. Helena was given a silver? casket (we are trying to work out what it is) which was presented to Mary Ann Bladon in 1873. Mary Ann passed the casket to her niece Doris Helen Bladon and her son has now passed it to Helena. Mary Ann was the school mistress at Moseley National school Worcestershire for over 50 years. After the gathering was organised, the brick wall was knocked down relating to Edward's baptism so a possible tree was also on display.

A good time was had by all, and more relatives were discovered!

Bladon's of Sudbury, Tanworth in Arden & Birmingham

2006-03-13T10:07:00.000Z

This is a brief description of my own Bladon family. My great x 5 grandfather was Edward and he married at Solihull Warwickshire and moved to Tanworth in Arden Warwickshire. His children settled in Stoke Prior Worcestershire, Haselor Warwickshire, Birmingham Warwickshire, Reddich Worcestershire, Moseley Worcestershire, in fact all areas in that vacinity.

Other Bladon's that appear on the tree are:- Thomas William Bladon matress and bedding manufacurer of Birmingham Warwickshire , Edward Bladon baker of Harbourne Staffordshire, John Bladon of Barton Under Needwood Staffordshire and William Bladon of London.

There are many many more as I have the tree back to Thomas Bladon who married in 1679 at Somershall Herbert Derbyshire! However I think I have it back further and am ploughing through the Vernon Family Papers (of Sudbury Hall Derbyshire) at the County Record Office!

It took me 15 years to find Edward's parentage and join my tree up with 3 other Bladon one's through wills and parish registers and even land deeds with the Vernon family.

It is my belief that the Bladon's origionated from this area (Burton on Trent, Uttoxeter Staffordshire and Sudbury Derbyshire). Looking at the list of other trees you will see that.

Bladon research material

2006-03-13T09:41:00.000Z

I have a lot of Bladon material from my research into the family. This includes:-

GRO Index - From 1837-2004 all the Bladon birth, marriage and death entries for England and Wales

Wills - Index of Wills proved in the Lichfield diocese to 1858 and 1858-1990 index to wills proved in Britain.

Indexes- I have various marriage and death indexes, mainly for Staffordshire but Warwickshire, Derbyshire and Worcestershire appear.

Census - I have access to the census indexes

So please contact me with any queries, I am happy to help!
