The Blashill/Blashel Family is a one family name so all are related. My experience is that only descendants of the Blashills carried the Family name as a given name. Generally speaking it is a male Grandchild that would carry the name.

I'm very familiar with the Blashills and have been doing a lot of work here. However, I'm not familiar with Jonathan Fosterb and Mary Blashell If you can provide additional information on this couple, or in more detail, I'll see what I can come up with.

Hi Britt,

Thanks a lot for your reply,but that is all I know personally about them,born in Kingston-upon-Hull 1644 and probably Quakers.They had a grandson Blashell Foster b.c.1700 also g g grandson same name and one relative very much later c.1862 Henry Blashell Foster.

Thanks for trying to help much appreciated.

Hi Pam

Don't know if this will help, but Pevsner's book titled 'The Buildins of England - Yorkshire : York and the east Riding' describes Bewick Hall as ' 3/4 miles northwest of Aldbrough. A brick and slate farmhouse with a datestone of 1636 and retaining some internal timbers of this period. A rear wing was added in 1788 and the main block remodelled in the early C19.'
This book was first published in 1972, so I strongly suspect that it is still standing.

Best wishes

Lesley
