hi My gg granfather was Patrick Blanch born about 1851 in NB His parents were Michael Blanch and Jenet Macdonald His siblings were Barbara, Mary, Margert, Alexander,Bridget, Michael, Florence( Flora) and Ranald. I suspect that Ranald and Patrick may be the same person, but not confirmed. Patrick married Catherine O'Henley in July 1888 in Bar Harbor, ME
Barbara Blanch married Robert Jenkins about 1860 in NB.
Not sure what happen to Mary, Margaret, Alexander, or Michael senior or junior since I cannot find them on a census past 1861.
Jenet Blanch is listed as a widow on 1881 census.
Patrick Blanch said he entered the US in 1882 when he applied for citzenship on February 28, 1900.He is first listed in Maine in 1900, but his wife Kate is listed in Bangor maine in 1892 and their daughter Mary Genieve Blanch was born in Bangor, ME in September 1891. Patrick and Kate Blanch were listed on the census of New Brunswick 1891 as living with Robert and Barbara Jenkins with their son, Roderick Blanch who must have died young because he is not listed anywhere after this one reference, at least that I can find. I would love to hear from anyone else researching this line.
