Edward F. Blanche m. Ellen McManus, Newfoundland
I've been tracking my Blanche line and see that an Ellen McManus married Edward F. Blanche (date unknown) presumed in St. John's, Newfoundland. (See my previous post here - I now do not know who Mary Ann Prowse is). It appears at this time that it could be Edward's sister Bridget that I descend from. Just passing along the Blanche details here:
I know that Edward F. Blanche had at least two children with Ellen McManus, one also named Edward F. Blanche who appears to have died single at the age of 58 in Boston, USA in 1930. When he died he was living with his sister Mary Ellen (nee Blanche) Outhouse. Mary Ellen had previously been an O'Neil and had two children by her first marriage Leo F. O'Neil, and Mary E. in the Boston area (Mary Ellen appears in the 1910 U.S. Census on Liverpool St. with the two children, but does not indicate she is a widow). I do not yet know Mary's, the daughter, married name, but child Leo F. O'Neil appears in the 1930 U.S. Census in Boston married to Theresa M, with child Leo F. Jr., on Adams St., Boston. Ths line would be all distant cousins if my math is correct.
If you have any further details, please contact me.
Thanks,
