Narrative and Notes

William may not have been the father of Margaret BLOWER, but is an educated guess. See the notes on Margaret BLOWER's record.

There are no baptismal records for a William (or Mary) BLOWER/BLOOR in Birmingham. Longer further out, there are several possible baptisms for William BLOWER in a 50 mile radius of Birmingham (as follows) however none of these had daughters called Mary so are unlikely to be correct.

8 Feb 1735 in Madeley, Shropshire by Richard and Elisabeth BLOWER
17 Jul 1738 in Great Dalby, Leicestershire by Thomas and Hannah BLOWER (twin of Edward)
25 May 1740 in Hinckley, Leicestershire by Jonathan and Sarah BLOWER
9 Apr 1744 in Stone, Staffordshire by William and Sarah BLOWER of Stone

William was a button maker, and may have migrated into Birmingham before raising a family. Or his baptism records may have been lost. Either way the trail has gone cold.
