Person:Blundell Stanion (1)

Blundell Kilsby Stanion’s origins have yet to be established. The age given when he died implies that he was born around 1763. His first confirmed sighting is on 12th October 1790, when he married Mary Braybrook at Oundle in Northamptonshire. One of the witnesses to their marriage was a Richard Stanion, who was presumably a relative of Blundell’s.

Blundell and Mary went on to have seven children baptised at Oundle between 1791 and 1803. Blundell’s first name was given variously as Blundell, Blundel, Blunden and Blunt.

Mary was buried at Oundle on 13th December 1835. She was said to be 73 years old, and she and Blundell had been married for 45 years.

The following summer, Blundell’s daughter Sarah died aged 41. Blundell died two months later, being buried at Oundle on 22nd September 1836. He was said to be 73 years old.
