My William B. Blanchard, was born at Cape Breton Island, Canada, Dec. 10, 1849, the family moved to Worcester, Ma. in 1850, then later on to Rhode Island. William married Ella French, his father was Peter Blanchard and his mother's name was Lucy, that is as far as I've been able to go back, Canadian records seem to be in-complete. I strongly feel that they are descended from a Blanchard line from New Hampshire, several in that line immigrated from New Hampshire to Nova Scotia, around the time of the revolutionary War, but so far, I've been unable to connect the two lines. So if you're grandfather was from either New Hampshire or Canada, it could be the same line.
