hillsbro   32 #13 Posted October 24, 2014 David Edward was Henry's nephew his father was David Blacktin mother Rebecca ?Yes indeed - I just found the family in Bradford in the 1871 census. There was clearly a link between the Blacktins of Sheffield and those of Bradford & Halifax, and the 2012 electoral roll still shows a number of Blacktins in these areas. A 748-page book "British Saws and Saw Makers from 1660" is on its way to me; this might shed some light on the family's saw manufacturing activities.
