Another Blinston
Richard Copas Blinston born 1876 Manchester married Harriett Rowlinson Hill at St Mark's Gorton Manchester in 1897, I don't know Harriett's DOB. I can't find them in 1901. Can anyone else please?

I'm not having much luck with this at the moment!
I think this is their daughter: Births Sep 1900 Blinston Frances Threlfall Salford 8d 155 In 1911 the above child and Harriet Blinston aged 32 b Salford are boarding with James Threlfall (head) aged 39. I've not worked out if there's anyone else in the house, but I don't think Richard is there. I'm thinking James is a relative, or maybe even....... James is the father of the child and Richard vanished not long after the wedding  Or this is completely the wrong family! lol

Oooh-err!
Marriages Dec 1917 Blinston Harriet Threlfall Chorlton 8c 1308 and there's is an untranscribed (ie not on FreeBMD) record for James Thelfall, same page and volume numbers. It's possible Richard had died in WW1, as there is this record on the CWGC site Name: BLINSTON, RICHARD Initials: R Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment/Service: King's Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment) Unit Text: 1st Bn. Date of Death: 01/07/1916 Service No: 3033 Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: Pier and Face 5 D and 12 B. Memorial: THIEPVAL MEMORIAL No middle name though so it might not be the right Richard.

I think that death could be the right one as your Richard was b in Openshaw and would have been about 38 in 1915 (army join-up date) which matches with the army record for the man who died 1st July 1916. (that's the first day of the Battle of the Somme)

Oh, that's funny - I spotted some army records on ancestry for Richard born Openshaw but I discounted them as soon as I looked at the first page because he said he wasn't married! Maybe it was him after all! I don't think I can get onto ancestry at the moment to look at them, though.
