Hi Hugh

I am have been following your posts online as I am descended from the Le Blonds of the Channel Islands.

In summary, Edward Le Blond was my third great grandfather and until I came across your posts, I couldn’t find who his mother was. Edward’s daughter Zepherine Alexandrine is my direct line and I am happy to give you any information I have to fill in some gaps. Here is a copy of my great grandmother’s birth certificate showing Zepherine – the marriage certificate is fairly devoid of information. They married in New Zealand on 28 March 1876 (although I can’t find any record of her emigration) and then they came to Australia (I have family reports or similar if you are interested? You probably have all the census records for the Channel Islands?

Anyhow, just thought I would touch base to see if you still doing the family tree.

Many thanks

My Eli Banger was born c1831-1891 in Lillington, I believe to James b
1786 and Bridget b c1806. He was an ag lab and he married Sarah Jane
Hunt b c1843 in Thornford.. One of their 10 children, Bridget, b1870
was my grt grandmother, born in Beer Hackett. Eli’s siblings are
possibly Charlotte and Jonathan, b 1826 and Mary Ann b 1836.

There are several Bangers in this area of Dorset and I’m still trying
to work on their connections.

I have also had info given of a Rev Bernard Banger born at Toller
Porcorum in 1599 who became vicar of Frampton in 1622. He died in 1673
. Another one I’m trying to connect.

Is any of this any use and can you add anything?

Best Wishes

Henry Banger was born at Whitefield Lillington about 1837. He appears in the
1841 Census at Whitefield. He was a Silk Winder by 1851 and after that I
know no more. he is almost certainly related to me, but I haven’t identified
his parents. Any interest?

It appears to have been (and still is) a farm. If you log into http://www.old-maps.co.uk and search on co-ordinates 362026,110982 , you will see a Whitfield Farm.
