Unfortunately, the listing of individual family members in census records didn't begin until 1851 in Canada and 1850 in the US.So, other than knowing there are several other Blanchard families in that area, there is little else to glean from that information.
I do, however, have a Blanchard family I found living in Bennington VT in the 1850 census with a Hannah Blanchard listed as age 6.I've determined a while back that this isn't my Hannah.But I can tell you she had two brothers and one sister.One brother was Jacob A. Blanchard, Jr., age 5 and the other was Charles H. Blanchard, age 1. Hannah's sister was Sarah P. Blanchard, age 8.The parents were Jacob Blanchard and his wife Sarah.There is a William Walker, age 66, living with them.My guess is that this might be Sarah's father.
The children and the wife were born in VT according to this record.The father was born in New Hampshire.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
